Can someone please explain to me why that try was disallowed for offside? I really dont understand that rule, especially when the commentator said he was onside!
Basically offside as he advanced past the last man in the ruck from his side before the scrum half had taken the ball from the floor. I think was just about the correct decision, but could have gone either way.

Was it "clear and obvious" that he was offside? If you suggest it "could have gone either way", then the TMO should not have over-ruled the ref.
Although, I'll admit I struggle to keep up with rugby's every-more convoluted and impenetrable laws and interpretations.

I was very surprised the decision went the Kiwi’s way, but all part of a learning curve and has proved they are beatable.
we wuz robbed .. Lawes moved just as the ball came out of the ruck .. that is onside irrespective of when the scrum 1/2 got his hands on the ball .. conspiracy theory .. the TV replay official was a South African .. last week we beat SA by one point after a controversial last minute, dubious tackle by Farrell which was deemed to be legitimate .. revenge can be sweet .. the French referee ? .. garlic chewing &8*5$3"!? .. great England performance, BUT still a losing one, albeit, just about .. are the All Blacks on the wane ? .. the Ireland/NZ game will tell us a lot .. the weather was a great leveller .. great to see Ashton scoring again .. will there be a place for the overweight Vunipola brothers when they eventually get 'fit' again ? .. Wilson has had 2 storming games at No 8, Moon and Hepburn have done superbly at loose head .. we will see

Could definitely have won so I am positive about this team.
