oh my, just saw the replay on the news, what a horrible farce, Tonga should have won, the ref made a terrible blunder

Your country arent good enough to beat Tonga, they should feel terribly cheated

clear to me also

He definitely should have gone, if just to make sure. He did for Bateman's try and that was clearly a try.

JM 'lost' the ball in similar circumstances 2 mins earlier, cant remember if it went forward from the strip though

Not a clear try at all, 50/50 maybe, but not a clear try. Should have gone upstairs though. If it had have done it would have gone up as no try and no 100% evidence to overturn, but definitely should have been looked at.

As Wilkin said - would be deemed stripped everytime in Super League. Whitehead clearly targeted the ball as he had no chance of tackling him. Whatever your view the point is he did not go to the video ref for the most important moment of the WC so far. The question that has to be asked is - why? What is the point of using video if it is not to enhance the integrity of the game? As I said - cheated.

I think the ref has blown for the knock on before Fifita regathered and went over otherwise he may have gone to the screen.

That was a really dominant performance from us for 70 mins then we switched off. We’ll have to step up another level next week to be in with a chance.

I'm delighted we won but I'm fuming at the way that game ended!

Tupou should've caught 'that pass' then it wouldn't have mattered.

The way I’m looking at it is that if it had have been the other way around with us going for a final second win, would Tonga or anyone else been bothered about us? Would they hell, so stuff it, the scoreboard says we won. Job done!

Jon Wilkins talking out of his arris. Thats a loose carry every day in SL. Whitehead went for the ball yes, but he made enough of an effort for it to be a legitimate attempt at a tackle and its the ball carriers responsibility to keep hold of the ball.
