Australian official Stuart Dickinson, who took an age to disallow England winger Cueto's score in Saturday's 15-6 defeat to South Africa, claims there is no doubt his call was correct.

Dickinson told the Daily Telegraph: "I'm 100% happy with the decision. His foot runs into touch by about 25 to 30 centimetres. Factually, it is indisputable."

Dickinson revealed language problems with French TV producers led to the delay in making his decision, which was made despite him being unable to obtain freeze-frame pictures.

"Looking at the first replays, it was clear that Mark Cueto had grounded the ball correctly and that his body was in play when he did so, which left the question of whether his toe had slid in as the only issue," added Dickinson.

"With the language barrier between me and the French TV producers, I wasn't able to get frame-by-frame pictures. The producer didn't slow it down for me so I had to make the judgment in real time. That's why it took so long. Eventually we got that view down the line which cleared it up."
