It's not soccer and I don't want to criticise the referee but we all saw that it was a deliberate knock-on. I can only tell you what he said to me," said captain Ryan Jones.br /br /Coach Sean Holley echoed the sentiments: "I will certainly ask him. It's a tough call that has to be made at the end but I have had another look at the incident and it looks like a penalty offence to me."br /br /The Biarritz coach, Jean-Michel Gonzalez, has since admitted that he felt the Ospreys should have been awarded the penalty, which would have set them up for the win.br /br /"Frankly, I thought it was a penalty," Gonzalez said. "It was a particularly interesting interpretation. My interpretation of the referee’s reaction was that it was a penalty."br /br /Shane Williams, who missed the tackle on Ngwenya as the American blitzed down the wing for the first try, said that his side should have wrapped up the game earlier on.br /br /"We’re really gutted that we’ve come this far, worked so hard to get there, but are going home again with nothing," he added.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OVKN2Kw5-rkamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OVKN2Kw5-rkamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time:/span 05:04br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Note: /spanBetter quality highlights will replace these when possible/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-1067471281117531264?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=lKNbdw7_kIs:flz1Xuxh7t8:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/lKNbdw7_kIs" height="1" width="1"/ More...
