The ball was stripped from Mcgillvary a few plays earlier. The ref didn't blow then so he could hardly penalise England for doing the same.'"
McGilvary has largely got away with that, both in the result and the analysis after the game. Two points up and you regain the ball in the last minute, whatever else happens you DO NOT LOSE THE BALL. Carrying it one handed into the line was the simply stupid. Wrap the ball up and look to find the floor at the earliest (legal) opportunity.
