[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 652373, member: 70552"] There was certainly one by Owen Franks in the first half that even the Kiwi commentators said was forward, I.e. franks hands were pointing forward when he passed the ball and the ball was propelled forward. If I can find it on video again I'll post it up. But, I've come to realise with this game it's what you can get away with. I also agree with Kiwi fans here that the English second try was not a try. It never touched the grass because Brown's hand clearly held it up and there was no evidence that any tip of the ball touched the ground before hand and he was then rolled on his back by Jane. Also it was bizarre beforehand when Robshaw placed the ball on the ground after a ruck, and the ref told AB players not to touch it (it was out and should be a 50:50 ball) then Robshaw pulls the ball back into the ruck. Surely that's a knock on?? I think all fans on both sides want is consistency in the decisions. [/QUOTE]
