Didn't want the win to be decided on a call like that. TJ seemed to take an age to kick the ball. We will be accused of being favoured but England/ Itoje were really cynical on defence and were lucky not to get a yellow which balances out the disallowed try.

Cynical runs both ways. Look back at the amount of times that Itoje was tackled beyond the ruck.
-
Awesome impact from Crotty and Scott Barrett; both MOTM performances. Also good first half from Dmac (not so good in the second); Retallick and Whitelock good all game. BB a bit of a mixed bag. Both wings invisible. Squire & Savea good, but didn't shine.

Or the amount of times Itoje reached ocer to interfere with the player in the ruck / slow the ball down. Swings and roundabouts eh one mans mature cheese is another mans mould

Just like we didn’t want that Lions test to be decided by a call like...
All that matters is 16-15 and if people want make accusations about calls or favouritism, let them.
I’ll just add them to the soundtrack along with the boos.

Yep that too. Cynical runs both ways.
It doesn’t balance out a disallowed try (which was disallowed within the laws).

Sorry but you can’t start your run from the middle of the ruck. You have to start from the last man's feet, right? No try.

Well if he’s going to put his hands in at every ruck he attends he’s going to get cleaned out

To be fair if the roles were reversed I'm pretty sure AB fans would be focusing on the inability to kick a drop goal with all the running in the final 10 minutes - especially when they lost the ball out wide when Farrell went back in the pocket.
Certainly had an effect, but there is a huge difference between a controversial call in the 70th minute and 82nd.

Bollocks. Ardie my MOTM.

Was there a reason why every time we set up a good rolling maul, Ardie would decide to detach from it with the ball?

Seems to be an AB tactic, they often try and end the maul when it's still going forward to profit from the momentum of a retreating opposition defensive line

If you’re attempting to justify cynical play for either side, you’ll be here all day.
