If Pollock holds onto the ball after strip with 58secs left England likely win anyway (Ireland the Championship), but this moment - and fact no replay of knock/intentional knock was shown - felt huge. France likely pondering an almighty collapse with any other ref than Amashukeli

Steve Borthwick afterwards mentioned the confusion around this knock-on. Fin Smith kicked the ball away, having been told England had a penalty advantage, right as Nika Amashukeli said it was just a knock-on (after a call from the TMO) and that advantage was over. Led to Bielle-Biarrey's fourth (!) try. "I think that World Rugby needs to look at that kind of situation. You can't have the players playing with certain knowledge and then it taken away from them."
