[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1012867, member: 56232"] Watching that bit again, one of the other French players is on his knees and immediately puts his body over the ball with his elbows on the ground. That is "sealing off" as there is no way he clear him out, no way to get the ball and he is not on his feet so not in the ruck. That was what the penalty was for. Also "general opinion" is to always claim England are crap and only win with the help of the ref. That accusation has been thrown at us in every game this tournament and it's ridiculous. Too many people with anti-English chips on their shoulder desperately looking for excuses. Yes we get some decisions our way, we also get some against us. As many "neutral" viewers in most of these games actually support whoever England is playing, they see all the mistakes that hurt their side but very few that hurt England. [/QUOTE]
