Did England deserve the ten thousand pound fine? (1 Viewer)

I think that they deserved to lose points.
If a ref is willing to penalise a team for next to nothing when they are losing by over 50 points, then why should a team only receive a fine for a clear breach of the tournament's rules?

yeah, it didnt matter if the result was beyind doubt...the point is, its a world cup match and they clearly breached the rules. die poms.

i think since the rules only state that its cause for a penalty, then it is a bit harsh..and it was only what, like less than a minutes, surely they couldnt of done too much in that time
but, yeah, it is the world cup, so i guess it is more important than regular club games or anything
