• Sir Clive Woodward says England decision-making cost win
World Rugby believes the controversial decision to disallow Sam Underhill’s late try in England’s one-point defeat by New Zealand was correct and the governing body is satisfied the referee Jérôme Garcès did not contravene its new TMO law trial during the incident.
Underhill scored what looked like being the match-winning try after 76 minutes, having gathered the loose ball after Courtney Lawes had charged down TJ Perenara’s kick. Garcès at first awarded the try but then consulted the television match official, Marius Jonker, who ruled: “It’s offside so you need to change your on-field decision to a penalty.”
