Eddie Jones slams ‘retrospective refereeing’

Eddie Jones has criticised World Rugby for their “retrospective refereeing” of England’s NatWest 6 Nations win over Wales at Twickenham.

The sport’s global governing body announced yesterday that television match official Glenn Newman made an error by ruling out a try for Gareth Anscombe when Warren Gatland’s men trailed 12-0 in the second quarter.

Gatland later described the decision as a “terrible mistake” and his view has been supported by World Rugby, who said in a statement that “Wales should have been awarded a try, as the Wales player grounded the ball”.
