Even if it wasn't a try, why did england got a penalty afterwards?
Because SA were penalised in the tackle on Matthew Tait. Nobody has fully explained without a chuckle so if I didn't know better I would say that it was a "consolation" because of the doubt surrounding the try.

The guys on the BBC Radio said that it definitely wasn't a try - and one of the them was ex-England international Matt Dawson

SA made fewer mistakes and performed better in the line-out, so were the better side but in other areas it was about level.

The irony is that the only moment of real incisiveness came from England and South Africa chose not to play an expansive game. But I'm sure that's England's fault as well :roll: :roll: :roll:

Not surprising that a virile young bear like IHH loves a bit of coco from time to time....

Must be coco's sporting prowess that IHH finds most attractive :wink: :)
