   WAS IT A TRY OR NOT

   

   Mike Catt:

   It wasn't given so you'd have to say it wasn't. But at the time we all though it was a try and Mark Cueto still insists it is.

   What did you feel like after the try that should of been was not given? and do you think you should of given away less penalties?

   

   Mike Catt:

   We all thought it was a try at the time Gavin and Mark Cueto still insists it was. With hindsight perhaps the ref got it right but it was very unlucky it was not given at the time. We definitely should have conceded less penalties, yes and three out of the five came from our own mistakes.

   Why do you touch your right ear every time the camera comes to you when you sing the National Anthem - What does it mean?

   

   Mike Catt:

   It's a gesture to say hello to my folks back home in South Africa

   What did you say to the ref after the try was not given and since watching the replay, do you think it was a just decision?

   

   Mike Catt:

   Hi Kate. We all thought it was a try at the time and my reaction was one of a little disbelief. Even having watched the replay a number of times and listening to mark Cueto it is really touch and go. With hindsight I suppose you can say it was the right decision.

   Thanks for the answer last time :) Too bad about the title boys, but you certainly didn't go down without a fight. What was your opinion on the game though? Do you think the ref was hard on you or calls didn't go your way very often?

   

   Mike Catt:

   Hi again Karla. Unfortunately we made three silly errors which led to three of their penalties. Otherwise it was a close match and they never really looked like scoring. I thought Schalk Burger should have sin binned for stopping a certain score for us and the try was touch and go. You win some, you lose some!

   England have never really looked like the manager has had a plan-the players appear to have guessed right in matches. No specifics required but, do the lads have a plan of not just how the English team should play but, how to play to beat South Africa? Quite often they can be 2 different things?

   

   Mike Catt:

   All I can say is that we do, of course, have a definite game plan to beat South Africa. Of course, it didn't work before, but as I've said in my columns, since that game we've really played the way we wanted to play and the way I like to play the game. We're a different team from that pool game and the confidence and belief is tremendous. I'd like to say thank you to everybody for your messages of support for myself and the team. We'll do our very best!
