I agree - it was such a marginal decision. Probably 9 out of 10 video refs would have awarded the try. As it was...........Jonny Wilkinson was still out of sorts (by his standards), missing a couple of kicks and not being quite so dominant in the tackle. Young Matthew Tate had a storming game - tackling like a demon, kicking for touch better than Wilkinson or Robinson, and Mike Catt defied the years with a great kicking game.Four weeks ago, I would not have given England a hope in hell of getting out of the group stages, let alone contesting the final, so we have to hand it to the team for having the courage and conviction to defy the (justified) criticism and playing their hearts out. Well done England!!
