From our special correspondent at Twickenham (England),
This choice will probably traumatize a generation of English fans. In a week and the ultra-deciding match against Australia, we will know if England was partly eliminated with this choice. Led by three points Wales Saturday, the XV de la Rose has a penalty rather complicated to try. Instead of trying to limit the damage by snatching a draw, the English decided to go for the test and the victory by sending the ball into touch. The result is a ball very poorly negotiated, a Welsh recovery and a defeat at Twickenham (25-28) in their World Cup. Clap, clap.
In a press conference, the head of the pellet was quick to denounce themselves. “This decision comes back to me, took the captain Chris Robshaw. We tried to get a win because the penalty was hard to try but unfortunately it has not worked. It had weighed the pros and cons and it was thought that this could allow us to win the match. “” It’s a big decision to make, but if we do, we must ensure behind. What we did not. At this point, I would have signed for a draw, “says bitterly, coach Stuart Lancaster.
The idea was still tempting. A week ago, Japan found itself in the same situation against South Africa and had refused to take the three points. The outcome was much happier for the Japanese, praised for the courage of the decision. “If it works and you score, you are a hero, slides XV of Leek coach Warren Gatland. If it does not work, you’re a zero. “In England, many have already chosen their side.
