Agree, but I don’t think the officials even look at action if he doesn’t dive backwards and hold his head? Gutted as a Wallabies supporter, but I thought Morgan’s technique was brilliant considering Tizzano’s head is well below his hips at the point of contact…just my opinion.
Carlo Tizzano, hit by Jac Morgan at the very end, did himself no favours by a backwards dive and appeal to the ref.
The Quade Cooper final par sums it up nicely @wallabies @lionsofficial
QUADE COOPER COLUMN: “It was a high-stakes moment in a high-stakes Test. But if we’re honest with ourselves, the game never should’ve come down to that one call.”
Naomi Osaka and Patrick Mouratoglou have ended their coaching partnership: “Merci Patrick. Wishing you nothing but the best. You are one of the coolest people I’ve ever met and I’m sure I’ll see you around.” ❤️ (via Naomi’s IG)
CHLOE KELLY, SHOUT IT LOUD!!! England are EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! 🏆 #BBCFootball #WEURO2025
Think we might have to go with the best referee rugby has ever seen.
My take on the ending of the second @lionsofficial test and why I think the refs got it right 👇
🗣️ "The crucial Jac Morgan decision demonstrated what a wonderful feel the three match officials have for the game," writes @WayneBarnesRef. Read more here 👇 telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…
The Wallabies are delighted to confirm Tom Donnelly will join the coaching staff ahead of the 2025 Flight Centre Rugby Championship. Donnelly will replace current assistant coach Geoff Parling who will return to the UK following the end of the Qatar Airways British & Irish…

Courageous Lions take their place in history after last-minute try @stephenjones9 @TimesSport thetimes.com/article/75e356…
Speaking on Stan Sports, Michael Hooper on Morgan clear out said “I can see what the referee is saying but there’s a penalty there. Whether it’s on head, on neck or going straight off his feet to the ground. I would say if that is minute one, that’s a penalty.” @lionsofficial
Gutted for the boys, what a match…thought the referee had a very good game.
Great clear out by @jacmogs7 what is he supposed to do. Never a pen.
