They did a job on us, I remember Dallaglio and others being signed on 6 figure contracts (unheard of in those days) while we were going into a downward spiral. Other ambitious clubs don't get a look-in these days, pro rugby has f*cked itself...
The truth is its totally irrelevant , just like the 3rd/4th place play off in the football World Cup. No one wants to play in it after losing in the Semi's, especially by 1 point , and no one ever remembers who came 3rd or 4th !
The plan for the 2nd half should be , get someone sent off and bring on Ford to drop kick them to death !
England have looked short of ideas since the Earl try. Flashes of Argentina's running game, but error strewn performance by them so far.
It was definitely forward. You could see the angle as it left his hands. The referee and touch judge were right in line too. Why don't they give these? Do they use technology to measure the angle etc?
