[QUOTE="Mikey12, post: 1012899, member: 84370"] It was a little harsh but the right call, France only had Raka and two small defenders in support. Curry tried to rip the ball and the French replacement 9 I think was trying to give him a quick hug. Curry slipped backwards knocking the 9 to his knees and he dived over Raka to stop Itoje, sealing off in the process. Itoje was very clever using his long limbs to grab over top and show the ref he had been blocked from making a steal. When you watch it back in slow motion the Frenchman had little chance of getting back to his feet. I think it was more an indication of just how tired the French team were by then that two English forwards got there but no French, they were out on their feet. Phenomenal effort by the French team but, in the end the conditioning of the English team showed in that extra 15 minutes. There was only going to be one winner for me after the 80. [/QUOTE]
