    Ahh correct. He was tackled without the ball, and while anything can happen, it doesnt have to be a guaranteed score to award the penalty try.

    That’s a very generous penalty try IMO

    Two French players on top of him, and still a couple of meters out, yellow card definitely, but very harsh penalty try.

    Dunno, even if he caught it with his knee or foot it likely would have been scored.

    He tried to kick it but overran it. He was then tackled

    It has to be a probable score and I don't see how it was anything of the sort to be honest.

    Harsh that

    I wonder with Italy having a professional overhaul from bottom up with Conor O Shea calling the shots will Italy eventually over take France in international rugby. As Italy progress France regress and they eventually over take them

    Ashton had over-run that ball. There is no way in hell he was going to pick it up and score either way.

    France attack ends up as an England PT is just France being France. Ropey decision that it was

    maybe the French player shouldn't have a tackled a man without the ball.

    I think they said on TV record points loss for France vs England was 37 points which was nearly 100 years ago.

    Wonder would he have carded him if they had 15 on the pitch or if it was a closer game.

    Was just reading there that the FFR have strict rules on players having French passports and they have next to no players that are resident qualified.

    Can't imagine they'd hire a foreign coach with that mindset!

    Incidentally, you could argue that every other them benefited from the 3 year rule and have made their teams better, while France have gone backwords :o

    sort of ironic as France had amongst the earliest adoption of foreign players for the national team - Tony Marsh remember him?

    played 21 caps 2001 to 2004
