Hope the link works! I suspect it is an optical illusion. I was sat behind the posts and thought it was through. Didn't hear one person say otherwise, players didn't argue, ref gave it. I'm sure other camera angles would show it definitely went through

The goalposts at the Italy-Wales this weekend were laughable! Seriously, the posts below the crossbar were about as long as those above it! Thank christ the game wasn't decided by a dubious drop goal or conversion as that would have been a sh1te way to miss out on a World Cup. Out of interest, anyone know what the legal mimimum length of the upper posts has to be?
