    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Close, but I don't see how it could be given. No clear evidence. Great game though. England did loads better than I thought they would.

    England were really unlucky - key things just didnt work for them today but they deserved something from the game the last minute try was so so close - I think it probably was a try but dont really think the video ref had any option but to give the inconclusive decision.

    The wales try had such a perfect bounce it was untrue 9 times out of ten the ball doesnt sit up to be taken at full tilt like that - our luck just wasnt there - a few other key things went against us couple of knock ons missed by the ref which led immediately to Wales penalties, and out charge down in front of the posts 9 times out of ten the ball goes forwards and its an easy try

    just one of those games. - at least England gave it a go unlike some football teams I can think of today

    Shame Farrell had to go off, thought he was having a very good game. Wales always looked like that they had more than us though. A promising performance, our best for a couple of years.

    haven't seen it again but no complaints with it being called inconclusive,the only issue was,and I could be wrong,that I
    thought the ref gave a penalty to us at the last ruck before the ball was spun wide,in which case it should have gone back for
    another go, regardless of the clock.Good performance from us though,encouraging for the future.
