       England vs France Semi-final - Women's Rugby World Cup

       Are there are any rugby union referees who frequent this forum
       as I watching the match this afternoon and left puzzled by a
       decision?
       In the second half, England were given a penalty and the ball
       was kicked into touch on the half-way line which resulted in a
       throw-in to England (because it was penalty). The resulting
       England throw-in (@57mins10secs into the game) wasn't straight
       and the referee blew up immediately saying "throw-in not
       straight" on her wired up mic but for some reason gave England
       possession from which they scored a try about a minute later.
       Can anyone explain how England got possession as the
       commentators seemed initially confused but never explained the
       referee's decision?

       I will watch it back as nothing was obvious at the time. She did
       give a FK against France at one point for an early jump but
       cannot remember when
       There certainly was no feeling in the ground that something was
       amiss
