Officials miss two key knock ons in England win

Officials miss two key knock ons in England win

England claimed a 22-19 sudden death victory over France in the Autumn Nations Cup final on Sunday.

However, the win did not come without controversy as referee Andrew Brace and TMO Ben Whitehouse missed a clear knock-on in the latter stages of regular time from England no.8 Billy Vunipola.

England spread the ball wide from this position where they won a crucial penalty which was kicked into the French 22 and lead to the try for Luke Cowan-Dickie which sent the game into extra time.

The ruck that England are awarded the penalty from, Owen Farrell also looks to have knocked the ball on with Brace awarding the penalty for Baptiste Serin going offside.
