ENGLAND fans slammed the “most ridiculous decision ever” as Argentina were awarded a controversial try in the rugby World Cup third-place play-off.
Tomas Cubelli went over after what seemed a clear forward pass from Lucio Cinti- with the referee giving a thumbs-up even after seeing a replay.

Viewers were quick to share their disbelief at what they saw as a staggering Stade de France verdict.
One posted: “Missing that forward pass when you have every chance to re-look at it is the most ridiculous decision I’ve ever seen. And believe me there I’ve seen some shockers.
“If World Rugby want to turn a ludicrous dead rubber into a serious event, they need to officiate it like one.”
Another wrote: “How is it that the referee sees the forward pass, asks for it to be checked and it’s given the thumbs up? Is the TMO watching it standing on their head?”
Other outraged opinions included: “Most forward pass ever from Argentina that.”
And this observer claimed the ref should have sensed it was wrong.
He stated: “That was definitely a forward pass from Cinti .. you know instinctively.”
