Argentina’s first try in their Rugby World Cup bronze medal match with England caused plenty of controversy, as Owen Farrell fumed after at the opposition while their score could have been chalked off for a forward pass. Tomas Cubelli went over just before half-time to cut England’s lead, but the decision to award the try was not well-received.<\/p>\n
Farrell caused a scene on the try line and hit out at the Argentinian team after Cubelli went through the skipper following a quick series of phases. Cubelli signalled to go right and then darted left as Farrell was unable to keep him from hitting the line.<\/p>\n
The fly-half was unhappy at the move that Cubelli used to get past him. Later, it was spotted that a forward pass may have occurred in the build-up to the score.<\/p>\n
Lawrence Dallaglio explained the possible forward pass to ITV: \u201cI\u2019m on the other side of the officials at the moment but a forward pass is a forward pass. Let\u2019s have a look at that, hands goes forward, ball goes forward. Ben Whitehouse has a look at it and says it wasn\u2019t, maybe because the conversion was about to be taken but nine times out of ten that\u2019s pulled back for a forward pass.\u201d<\/p>\n
