Lol no, i suspect your downvotes are because it seems you're suggesting that England only lost and NZ only won because England were down a player. But um can we all just agree that there is no possible way to know what the outcome would have been with a full team.

Well it definitely gives a big advantage to Nz, but yes its impossible to know if england would have won even with 15 players.

An advantage yes.

And think about it, if we start attributing the win/loss to the fact that England only had 14 players, then you end up heaping the blame for the loss squarely on the red-carded player, and thats not fair.

NZ was done 14-0 and getting crushed when it happened. They absolutely were not going to be in it.

Lol how on earth do you know that though? So you would blame England's loss on that one red-carded sheila? Rude.
