Completely agree. Decision reversal or 10m. That would soon sort it out.
Bill Mata. The second coming?

Completely one million % agree. As for Itoje's cheerleading ... Rugby is becoming less of a gentleman's sport by the match.

It was Danny Care's ludicrous swallow dive the end-totally unnecessary as he was already over the line for goodness sake. Just touch the ball down man! Left an even nastier taste in the mouth-if that was possible by then.

English rugby has always been classless.

Anyone else see this?

What a way to respect the captain from the other team.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the RFU or English Rugby. This is a jamesmatthew TV company's jamesmatthew production and does nothing but demonstrate that they are not fit to be awarded coverage of such a prestigious sporting event. Whoever was responsible for that legend should apologise without delay, but let's not lay the blame for this at English Rugby's door.

As for the swallow dive, it's not my thing but it's up to Danny Care. If he wants to show the world he is a dick, like Chris Ashton, then that's his prerogative. Not going to endear him to coaches or selectors however.

ITV are just a branch of English rugby, Dayglo, Sir Clive and Wilkinson speaking nonsense with a smarmy grin. Sums up English rugby as well as anything.
