Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, Greg Growden reflects on Australia's late win over Italy in Padova, a game apparently decided by the narrowest of margins.
"The Italian protests [following Quade Cooper's late score] were just part of a confusing afternoon, which saw the match played on a field clearly smaller than the usual dimensions. The Wallabies team management had complained before the game that the length of the field was about five metres too short, the in-goal was minimal, and the width of the field had been tightened. But there was nothing anyone could do about that because the field was surrounded by an athletic track."
