Oh man that was tense , bit we thoroughly deserved to win 1-23 immense

Wonderful performance. Even their 7 points were given to them by us!

I still maintain my criticism from the very beginning of this thread that forward passes are being ignored - except for the one in the middle of the ruck that denied us a try. Others that were far more forward and far more visible were let go.

Looking forward to this afternoon's main event now - c'mon Glos!

I agree there were several in that game in open play that were clearly forward.

There was one very clear forward pass that was missed.
but the law has changed over the years, in line with Rugby League. Flat passes and passes that go forward but leave the hand backwards are now allowed.
In truth NZ were lucky with the score line. England had 2 tries denied that could have gone the other way, especially the maul one.

Yes I sill don't understand that decision, although the experts seem to think it was correct, in the days before TMO it would have stood.

Well played England. Best I've seen them play in some time.

Same here. My old man used to ref and he's also at a loss.

It appeared to go from the hands of the player behind to the player in front but how anyone can be sure is beyond me.

It definitely did, but I thought that as long as a maul had formed the ball could pretty much move freely around inside it? I could be totally wrong about that. I probably am.

Bit rich anyway for that to be called forward given the numerous and obvious forward passes throughout the game.

With the clocks going back an hour in the morning, what time will the rugby be on tomorrow?
