Cornish Steve Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 It seems England were gifted the game against Samoa since their first half penalty was kicked after the shot clock had expired.

Ireland v NZ is going to be a cracker next weekend! That was the display clock, which runs a little behind the official clock. At minimum, even if the kicker can reach -0.99 seconds, there should have been a VAR check. All credit to Samoa, though, for giving England such a scare. Will Fiji do the same?

You'd have to assume that Farrell was working to the clock on display, so would've been a little harsh to penalise him because the officials can't synchronise watches.

France, hopefully, will get past SA - Dupont returning may just be the difference, though I think it's a risk to play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
