    Tim Horan had a very balanced view of the game. The Wallabies had it in the bag and let it slip. The final decision could have gone either way, he was disappointed for the Wallabies and their fans, but felt the ref did a good job. Refreshing

          Quade Cooper writing in The Australian blamed the Wallabies for changing their gameplay and trying to close out the game too early.

            The comms the other night embarassed themselves big time. The cringiest moment was when they were hammering away at Martin Johnson trying to get him to admit to a conspiracy or something

                Probably a bit of sense in that too.

                  Just so we have another opinion, Eddie Jones has his say.
                  Speaking on the Rugby Unity podcast with David Pembroke and McKenzie, Jones made his view crystal clear as he agreed with Farrell.

                  “If he [referee Andrea Piardi] hadn’t allowed that try, then basically, the cleanout would be out of the game in rugby,” said the Japan head coach.

                  “Because he couldn’t do anything more legal than he did. The argument is that he hit his head. Yes, we know that. But he couldn’t do anything more than that.

                  “If you don’t allow that sort of cleanout, we might as well forget about rucks and have ‘play-the-balls’.”

                  Actually so Rassie Erasmus who says he can see both sides!

                    Eddie proving the stopped clock argument has merit.

                      He's right, for all anyone screams about the last tackle/ruck, count how many Wallabies are standing there looking and not getting into defensive line. There about 5, that try could and should of been stopped regardless of what happened at ruck.
