Eddie backs Wallabies in decoy row

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN has added his tuppence-worth in the war of words over decoy runners between Australia’s Eddie Jones and England’s Clive Woodward — and the Irish coach has sided with the Wallaby.

The slagging match between the rival coaches has been raging in the Australian press all week, long after Woodward stated that Australia’s second-try against Argentina last Friday was illegal because of the use of Matt Burke as a decoy runner.

But having watched the incident on television, O’Sullivan believes the try in question was totally legitimate.
