What They're Saying
Wales defense coach Shaun Edwards (via BBC): "It is important we get our structure right on that. It is also important there is no obstruction of our defensive plays up ahead of the ball. When you watch rugby league games, there are a lot of tries disallowed when they go to the TMO [television match official] if there has been any obstruction ahead of the ball. I am sure the TMO and the referee will be well aware of that."
England attacking skills coach Mike Catt: "Obstruction is a standard rule in the game. If you are obstructing someone, you get penalized and you now have the third referee as well who decides whether a try has been scored or if someone has been taken out."
