Johnson: The drop-goal went over

Shaun Johnson is adamant his match-winning drop-goal against England on Saturday did go between the posts.

There has been speculation that Johnson’s goal may have just missed, and that the one point was incorrectly given.

But Johnson said his kick did go over.

“Social media says a lot of things these days,” the halfback told The New Zealand Herald.

“I guess I had the best view out of anyone and it went over. I don’t think any of the players complained on the field.

“There was five English players standing in front of the posts and they jogged back to halfway so why it becomes an issue after the game is all done I’m not sure.”
