    TMO - that's clearly grounded.

    No it's not, you can't see it touch. Not conclusive, so correct call by procedure. Just the ref on wrong side. Totally is a try, but you can't see it touch the ground, that's the rules

    You can conclusively see that nothing can be between the ball and the ground. Or not if you're so shit a ref you get sacked back to first grade.

    Nope not how it works, they have to see it touch to overturn a no try call by the ref. You can say the rules are wrong but that was the procedure followed correctly, all cos ref was on wrong side.

    Man blues are playing like donkeys

          Is Leckie not allowed to say “Cobber, it’s clearly grounded, you should overrule your on field decision”?

            Highlanders playing their best game of season so far. Just need some points to show for it.

            Banks is having a storming game.

                    It's really sad, but being injury prone, is probably a reason why TUJ may not become an AB.

                        Only if he sees it touch the grass. He didn't. The law may overturn logic, but logic must not overturn the law

                                      FFS in all that waiting around they didn’t show footage of the penalty, so I had to scroll back to look. Coverage was better in the early 2000s.
