• Wing had try disallowed in defeat against South Africa• ‘It still seems to come up every other day’
The former
England wing Mark Cueto will be willing Eddie Jones’s men to victory in
Japan on Saturday, even if it means him losing his claim to fame. The ex-Sale star was a bootlace away from becoming England’s hero in the 2007
World Cup final against
South Africa in
Paris, where he was denied what he still believes was a match-winning try.
The referee, Alain Rolland, was unsighted when Cueto touched down in the corner early in the second half and Stuart Dickinson, the television match official, spent two minutes and 35 seconds reviewing footage before eventually deciding that the England man’s left foot had made contact with the touchline.
