The game changed after that.

Well, yeah, especially late, once they got nine points up the game was effectively over, and chasing down a shorter lead changes the entire nature of the game

Looked like English guy was NOT in touch when he pushed the ball over the line ( he did, didnt he?) because he lifted his foot up just before he went over the line.

He doesn't need to go "over the line" his foot only needs to "touch" the line for him to be out.

I think it was the right decision.

With that said, I personally hate video ref'ing in rugby and would be fairly confident that with out going to a man upstairs to watch that incident 10 times in slow-mo the touchy and the on field ref would have awarded it.

Thats what the op was saying, he raised his foot just before it would have touched the line so it should have been a try although his knee may have touched the line as he grounded the ball.

England were lucky to even be in the final. If the ref wasn't rigged in the All Black vs France game, England would clearly have been pummeled by NZ in the semis. That was some clever rigging though, less obvious that an infinite AF on the river.

I do not advice being in Londres during a losing Rugby Match, the pub was devastated. Quite funny if you ask me.

looked like the momentum was swaying toward us though when we got the try, would have been interesting to see what would have happenned if it was given
