[Griff9of13]

Heart's almost packed in. 

[Man of Kent]

I’m shaking 

[Hvy wg]

Stole that one

[Copa]

You have went to the video referee. 

That was a try.

[Cumbrian Fanatic]

My word, my heart is still beating so fast

 

[BBR]

What was Jerry thinking at the end. Go to ground. Tried their best to throw it away

We've just at dodged the biggest red bullet. 

That was a try for me.

No way. It was a knock on.

[Northern Eel]

Where on earth do you start with that. Lord above.

[RabbitRhinoovOZ]

Hate to say it but Tonga where robbed there.

[Copa]

All channel 7 commentators in Sydney say it was a try.

[Blotto]

That last 10 is one reason England won't win next week!

Can't be a try when he clearly knocked on but he should have at least checked

[Futtocks]

Widdop MotM.

Absolute arrogance from the ref there not to check that.

Absolutely.

And I wouldn't have been very confident of the outcome. 

Looked like a strip to me.

You mean after the complete forward pass he missed for the Tongan second. I absolutely despise all this lauding up of the opposition and their fans by BBC comms. 

Doesnt matter how, find a way. 

[Just Browny]

Chuff me.

He was right IMO, loose carry. We can't check every single decision. If the ref's happy that's good enough for me. We complain if they check and we complain if they don't.

No chance, that was a loose carry and he lost it forward

Only seen one replay so far.

Surprised no video in the last second of a semi final.

[weloveyouwakefield2]

I can’t believe what on earth happened at the end

England hand in there though?

It was nothing like a strip, clear knock-on.

[Adelaide Tiger]

Bloody hell my heart is thumping.  Wtf was mcgillvary doing?  A classic game.

Or perhaps he positioned himself well enough to call the correct loose carry? 

Ive had enough KFC! 

[UTK]

Absolutely robbed, criminal not to go the video ref. Hopefully England make the most of their chance
