RWC SF: England v Springboks

[stodders]

@Duluth @Dodge if it was so obvious, how could the ref, his ARs and the TMO miss it?

He did stand up. Do they believe he wasn’t held perhaps? Or did they just not think it was a penalty offence?

I have no idea.

I'd want to see the rest of that image. Yes he's down then vunipola flings him over to try and turn him the wrong way (no immediate release by tackler). I just don't think the view I got from the far side of the field was that obvious.

What I mean is is see him up a bit but never his feet on the ground. Once again not saying it didn't happen but next time you see his feet they're off the ground, vuniploa still has hold of him -so dunno

[stodders]

@Dodge I await the English dossier documenting BOK’s mistakes to be published by The Times in the next couple of days then 😂

I cannot work out what you’re arguing with. He’s tackled, held in the tackle and stands up. Nothing else is relevant

[booboo]

I thought it was obvious in real time too. I was certain they would check and disallow the try

Honestly me too live. But TMO checks every try and if there was an issue they'd have alerted the ref. Which makes me think we need to see the completed movement from that angle.

Fuck I can’t work how to post this, but this is the frame that shows him standing up.

[Dodge]

You can’t bounce up out of a tackle with the ball still in your hands and go for the line. Second movement, playing the ball on the floor, not releasing, whatever the fuck you want to call it

That's the money shot, yup penalty

Peak Walrus. Comedy gold! England have made 4 finals. This wouldn’t rank in the top 10 England performances for me.

played like the true England

Well done Walrus, I can’t ( and wouldn’t anyway ) read the rest but it looks like you’ve managed to surpass yesterday’s tweet for sheer sour, whiny, wankiness.

“Undeservedly won”…..what a cock. Like clockwork any sympathy I have for England is quickly eroded thanks to shit like this.

Nothing to be proud of.

Thoughts on the deciding penalty? Aerial view looked like the green shirt angling in a lot more than white?

From where we sat Koch when in and up. Someone like Barnes might have penalised for not pushing straight.

The old loose forward in me fucking loved that. Just a dirty shitfight

I love that, I feel the same way. I used to love wet days, everyone slowed down to my pace.

[pakman]

England have only themselves to blame. They had that game for the taking. With Ford on at 65 some of those dangerous situations in last 15 would have likely borne some fruit.

As it was Care had to pass to Faz 8m behind the gain line, which gave Boks time to scramble.

Very clear from our seats.

Faint heart never won fair lady and all of that.

[Bovidae]

Conceding the scrum penalty after the KLA knock-on was the key moment. A perfect position to get some points was squandered.
