So the VR gave the penalty then, not the referee.

The referee didn't give that penalty.

But other than the VR giving a clear obstruction, England didn't get a penalty in the second half.

So England got a penalty in the second half then.

Yes, a single penalty. For Obstruction.

So when people state the pen count in the second half was 5-0 they are mistaken.

So England got a penalty in the second half then.

Not one of them penalties, more the off the cuff penalties for messing about at the ruck, laying on etc .

You know which one’s we’re on about, the ones where the bias of the referee comes into play.

The cheating Aussie lover penalties .

You're missing the point. The on-field referee didn't give England a penalty in the 2nd half.

His brother, however, did give one, the obstruction which was too obvious for even him to ignore.

So yes, while 5-0 overall is incorrect, it's still correct to say the referee awarded 5 penalties to Australia and none to England.

I'm not missing anything. I didn't realise a penalty only counts toward the total count if it is given by the onfield referee.

You have to commend the Aussies on their ability to put almost every single England kicker on his back for a whole game without once being late in the tackle or offside in getting there


JEEZ they're good

See, entirely missing the point. I can only hope deliberately.

Again, I'm not missing anything. People are saying England did not get a penalty in the 2nd half wben they obviously did. One. Why are you getting so agitated about this?

' missing ' no, ignoring, yes
