Did Eales really win ?
Here I am,sitting in BKI guzzling Tiger and eating big fat prawns watching the Trinations on Starsports--Ok there was no replay but did Aussie really go over for that last try-if they did I apologise in advance but if not well.........!!!!!!!!!
OH and for you aviation nuts I did hear an MAS 737 fly overhead during the game.Anybody seen a replay?

If you go to the Rugby Heaven website and look at picture ten of the photo gallery for the game, you can see quite clearly that Kefu places the ball down fairly. You can also see Justin Marshall's hand coming out to flick the ball back into play a moment later. It was very hard to pick it up during the telecast, but it is quite clear in this still photo.

Are but the knock-on in that final phase was missed by the referee. A pity, but good for the knocker ockers. A good game, one would have to say, but ruined once again by sub-standard refereeing. Congrats to the Aussies.

Ah well, if you are going to question the legitimaticy of the match winning try, then we might as well point out that NZ's second try was scored off a forward pass. However despite the sub-standard refereeing the correct result ensured. GO YOU GOOD THING!

I have had no contact with the game of Rugby Union, but I watched the last 15 mins or so of that game. Even I could tell that the referee wasn't any good (I do have some qualification to say that, as I am a part-time Goal Umpire in real football 
for my local league). Anyway, what more fitting a final game for Eales. That's the stuff of a good sport movie (results of the most important match of the season to come down to the wire like that). What a send off...
