Well, England lost to South Africa

For our American viewers, rugby is like American Football but men play it so don't wear crash helmets and pads

Ah well... 2nd best in the World, I guess it's not SO bad...

I disagree. It _WAS_ a try. "Ball in touch"? Rubbish. Had we been given that, and converted, we'd have changed our game style and Jonny would have kicked us the win.

"Foot in touch" mate before the ball was grounded - pretty easy call! The correct call.

The english will talk about that call forever and SOUTH AFRICA will be on the CUP forever!

If "If's and but's were candy and nut's, every day would be Chrismas!" - What if -----Flood should have been carded for the cheap shot on Monty - then "what if" you only had 14 how many points would we have scored !!!! Too easy to play that game

Needless to say, that is what Test rugby is supposed to be! Regardless - great game!

There were three commentators who all watched the video replays from all angles and said "100% try, foot is in". When the decision was announced, they replayed it again and said "wrong decision, that was not in touch".

But hey, SA played well, and probably were the better team. I can count just as many un-carded incidents from SA against England
