I dunno what those kiwi commentators were on about, the slo mo clearly showed a gap between the ball and raynors fingers = lost possesion= no try correct decision.
skeepe said:Webb's first try was a definite forward pass.
Cayless took a Pom out on another try.
Raynor should have been awarded a try.
Pryce should have been awarded a try.
Webb pushed a Pom out of it and then shepparded Cayless for the Cayless try.
Holla if ya hear me said:England are the most clueless pussies EVER to put on a jumper..Do they actually KNOW one another

Not a suprise that you were first out of the blocks mate.
innsaneink said:Wrong ...yet again fagpride...your smelly mate foreplay was.
The Clan said:NZ were an angry team and took the field with no inkling of self preservation in attack or defense.
I saw problems for us even during the National Anthems and the Haka.
There was extra passion in the eyes and faces and that spelt danger.
Lets be honest here, Australia on current form would have copped a hiding from NZ on the form they showed tonight.
NZ were better all over the park and with the exception of the odd two or three players GB had no answers.
Peacock, Raynor, Ellis and maybe Yeaman were GB only acceptable performers tonight.
Having said all of that I am going to throw some mitigation into my summing up.
The ref was far too lenient with NZ lying on in the tackle; this is no small matter when there are 240+ play the balls it has to have an effect on the momentum of the game.
The two video ref decisions were ridiculously poor, Raynors in particular because it could have changed the face of the game at that time. Pryce's try was an equally poor decision but in fairness the game was gone by then.
Simpkin has had two very poor games now and shouldnt be considered for future games at this level.

Raynor's no-try being questioned? Are you lot f**king mad?!
You can clearly see he knocked it on from the side-on view; there's clear daylight between his hand, after he makes contact with the ball, and the ball, before he touches it again when it's on the ground.
Unbelievable. As clear a no try as it's possible to be.
Cujo said:The only angle that cast doubt was from the side and even on that all of Raynor's left hand was not visible. On balance it should have been given.
Sam_the_man said:Judging by there effort tonight you might be right, i hope they take there A game to Brisbane next week other wise Australia will put 40 or 50 on them.
screeny said:You're right about one thing: there was only one angle which made the gap between his hand and the ball after initial contact clear. But that's all you need.
The first time I saw the replay I saw the knock on. Then they went on to view the head on shots numerous times which made it look like a good try, before the video ref went back to the side shot which clearly showed the knock on.
It's as clear as night and day.
The Pryce one was a bad call though as Kidwell seemed to go for Wellens, rather than the other way round.
Cujo said:Don't agree. There wasn't a single shot where BOTH hands can be conclusively proven not to be touching the ball. For a split second on the side view his right hand wasn't touching the ball for sure but in that same shot his left hand is out of view behind the ball. If as you say the front-on shots were OK then it's 99% nailed on his left hand must have been touching the ball the whole time. I can understand the reasoning behind the decision but there is doubt and in that case the attacking side gets the benefit.
