[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 157156"] And we all know what happens when England are 2 points down in the last 10 minutes, eh? [/b][/quote] sheesh, you guys need to learn some basic math. Rolland brought them back for the penalty after the failed advantage. Wilkinson slotted it for three points, England only missed out on 2 points . The conversion would have been much harder and no certainty, but even if he had made it, it's still a 4 point difference, not 7. to summarise for the brains trust: 15-8, or 15-10. Drop goal not the answer here. [/b][/quote] You're correct, of course, I forgot about the penalty. Wilko probably would've slotted that conversion, though. [/b][/quote] Changing England's score by 2-4 points is rather pointless as a try would have changed the match. SA were in control before and after the non-try.
