explanation please

Don't know if you were watching, but England seemingly scored a try, but it was overturned by the refs after a video review. I'm not hot on Rugby rules, but in the NFL it would have been an obvious touchdown; don't know what made the refs overturn it. Someone with more intimate knowledge of the rules might be able to explain.

If you watch the replay, his foot just touches the line before the ball is grounded. No try. Easy.

GO BOKS!!!!! Today I'm proud to be South African. You were the best team in this World Cup and deserved to win.

As an aside, lol at all the English tabloids thinking Jonny Wilkinson would make a difference. It was a final, it was tight, the Boks were nervous, but any rugby fan will tell you that the Springboks are a much better team than the English.
