The only thing I could see that changed the face of the match. As for the rest of it, it was pretty much equal. But it was that last push that Australia made when everything was equal. About 3 minutes left in the second half of extra time.
They decided to go for a try.
They should've got the ball to their kicker and went for the drop goal. I think if they chose that route then it would be Australia as champions now and not England.
But that's what we did a few minutes later and got those 3 points in the last dying seconds.
Ah well. Maybe I am wrong about that but perhaps that's a good lesson in what happens when you choose one route to the other. We may never know what would happen now. Only what has happened.
