England have tested fans' patience but heading...

Having watched the game and the Kick to touch I cannot say I blame the decision. They were just outside their own 22 yard area - the potential of making it all the way up the pitch was narrow (at best) so I would say the call was sensible, yes the drama would have been great to watch but what would people be saying now if they had gone on to lose the ball in open play and then lost to a penalty goal or try? If we had been in their half and gone for goal or a line out I would have questioned their decision not to do so but that was not the case. Maybe that is the pessimism in me, but a draw was a good decision IMHO on that occasion.

If the roles had been reversed would NZ have kicked to touch? We all know the answer and it tells us everything.
