Looks like Teddy Thomas held that up.

On Field decision. No try.

[sparky]

TMO awards the try.

England 21 France 20.

France have taken a lot of bad options over the last 20 minutes.

Well we won't hear England complaining about poor referee decisions now....that's an interesting call from the TMO.

Farrell's conversion good. England 23 France 20. 2 minutes left.

Itoje has been excellent for England in the 2nd half.

Not much “clear and obvious “ there.

Haha absolutely fucked. "A bit of the ball touched the grass". 🤣

[sparky]

On balance, England slightly the better team but that try was dubious IMHO.

[sparky]

All over. England 23 France 20.

It’s almost as if there are two sets of protocols.

Jonny May had a good game. Not sure why France switched to a kicking-based game plan in the 2nd half.

Daly was good when he came on.

Daly was good when he came on.

In fact, felt English bench added more.

Proper test 👌🏻 Roll on next RWC with that Frog team at home... They are going to be tough to beat.

I was thinking that myself. This TMO seems to judge based on “likely “ while last night’s one wanted clear evidence despite likelihood.
I prefer the “clear and obvious” method otherwise it is guesswork.

Better performance from England than in Cardiff. Especially in the last 20 minutes. Calmer heads in the main.

Which is annoying because there is no reason why that should not be the norm. For sure there can be times when guys collectively lose the plot but with England recently that IS the norm. Something not quite right in the squad I feel.

England pop back up to third in the world.

Was a good test match, I couldn't decide on that last try but was watching on the phone. English commentary team, it was clear and obvious try in real time haha
