A huge amount is being made of this Pom win. But in truth Plisson was worth 13 points....the first gift try and seven points missed with the boot. Kockott who otherwise played well and made a great break also missed 4 points with the boot. There you have 17 points. The remaining six was the Nigel Owens miss of a ball clearly dropped forward in the one Pom try...Nigel being focused on a subsequent pass.
It's the same old Twickenham stew of bully boy tactics, xenophobia and Falklands war nationalism. The tackle by Lawes was a yellow....ignored and turned into a Pom penalty at the scrum. Jannie Labuschagne got a red for a much less vicious tackle at Twickenham. Same old double standards.
