I've not said otherwise. Just suggested that maybe his meltdown accusing the ref of cheating, wishing death on him, and refusing to accept his mistakes also benefited France on at least one major occasion was being one-eyed. I've acknowledged England got lucky with those decisions - it's not that hard to do!

Everyone can see Torq has a point. However, if he believes that the ref was bought by the RFU he should give up watching the sport.

As has been pointed out, there's also the squint lineout leading to the french try, playing the 9 when we were 2m from the French tryline, preventing a penalty that even Farrell would have struggled to miss.

There's another decision against the French that was missed, but I can't remember what it was, but I know I said at the time we were lucky to get it.

It's a game, it's what happens in them.

The alleged knock on, and which was looking like it would have been a pen within the 22 to France in the subsequent ruck. In sudden death time.

Erm, no, the knock on would have been a knock on. The penalty clearly shows the French tackler not rolling away, and then rolling the wrong way, the ref couldn't have rewarded the jackal in that situation.

It's impossible to isolate a single decision anyway. We can go back and call the squint lineout, France don't get the try then, and who knows what happens in the rest of the game.

It was when the French player was pinged for knocking it forward from a catch but hadn’t touched it. The bit I was talking about which had not been mentioned.

It's been mentioned loads. It's the Macalou incident.

I was guessing at what Raggs was thinking about.

Wasn’t in the videos don’t think. And there was a lot of noise between you and Torque to clock it being mentioned loads.

I mean Torq hasn't shut up about it, so
