Owens certainly didn't check the forward pass. He also did blatantly say the knock forward went back. In any case, it was great to see that Richie didn't compromise his (low) standard of play in his final test. It is a compliment to the Wallabies that he feels he needs to infringe to win the game. Still a shame that the referee had no interest in policing the All Blacks in the ruck.
Hard to agree the All blacks dominated the rest of the game. They dominated the first half, with poor decisions. The second half was a different story for much longer than 10 minutes. There were many good attacking runs that ended in unforced dropped ball.
I don't think I said anything to say they didn't deserve to win. How many times did the wallabies drop the easy ball? Just that it would have been good for Wallabies to not be hampered by poor refereeing.
