Don't know the rules in rugby union, but in league as soon as the ball-carrier's feet are both off the ground (ie, he's being carried) the tackle is complete, so that couldn't happen,

Oh dear, just watching it again and the neurotic "analysis" of the Tanganoa offside on 44 minutes is just nausiating. The guy is in front of the kicker and is offside - end of. Haven't they even got the technology to trace a line across, VAR-style, instead of just saying "I reckon he...

Ticket now bought. I decided to go the lo-tech route, and forget all about online, and drive down to the ticket office. It's an interminably show process (there were only two people in front of me, and I must have waited a good 20 minutes to be seen to), but I have a ticket! Of course, if you don't ...

Peters; not so much. :P In another oddity of the BBC coverage, did other posters notice than in the first half, Wigan were apparently playing in 'turquoise'. And 'purple' was m...

So what is the point here? If we can't be criticised for the win, we'll be criticised for the turn-out?

Especially with the forward pass they made so much fuss about; if you're offside inside the 10 m, that's it, it doesn't matter what happens afterwards, it's a penalty.
