England 42 - 20 Scotland
I should be ecstatic that England just won, especially by that margin, but GAH!!!! I don't care that Johnny Wilkinson is the returning golden boy of rugby union, HIS FOOT WAS IN TOUCH.
That was not a try.
Excusing a ref on the pitch is one thing, but he knew he couldn't see and called in the video ref - who ignored what both commentators and viewers all over Britain - Europe! - could see pretty bloody clearly.
Fine, so we didn't actually need those points in the end, but who knows how Scotland would have played if they weren't kicked in the nuts like that? What a way to start the Six Nations tournament..
(in other news, Italy were trounced by France 39-3: allez les bleus!)
