Ahh, it was a Hodgson kick. The touchy was right there but I didn't see the touchy raise his flag at all.

I've heard on the BBC rugby message boards that the ref had ruled that the ball had been pushed back infield and therefore was an Irish scrum. Looked a bit iffy to me, maybe he should have gone upstairs ...

The only other iffy thing I saw (I was flicking remember, before someone jumps down my throat, not you Jools) was the Corry try. O'Gara was tackled and brought to the ground illegally so it should have been a penalty there and then, not a try.

I still think AR is not quite there tactically. If you remember the Australia game at the end of last year the mauls were killing us and it was identified before the game as a weakness but we only saw it played in the second half after Aus were ahead. Bad decision and I think that cost England the game.

I saw a great kick take and return from Lewsey! He's a great player.
