For cast iron evidence by seeing the ball touching grass.

TMO actually told ref the ball was on the ground.

England’s self inflicted wounds. Great early play ruined by penalties and a lack of precision, now the cards.

TMO actually told ref the ball was on the ground.

I heard that, the crowd cheered, then ref said I can’t be 100% certain (or words to that effect).

England score with 13 men

The last time I saw 13 men score a try was in Rugby League.

The last time I saw 13 men score a try was in Rugby League.

Ballsed up the conversion though.

For cast iron evidence by seeing the ball touching grass.

Indeed
There was no clear shot of the ball being grounded
I thought it was a try,everyone in the stadium thought it was a try,everyone watching at home thought it was a try
But thinking and seeing are two different things

I'm surprised TMO didn't overturn that. One image showed ball on ground on line and Scotland No. 12 - who has a clear view -punching the air.

I’ve always held up rugb use of TMO as the way VAR should be used - I.e. the referee is in charge - but this was awful - everyone knew it was a try from those pictures but rules is rules…

The only way that’s not a try would be the ball unilaterally defying gravity and 300kg of rugby players forcing it down, hovering over the grass for a second.

Well, yes they were shafted, but this is a bit victim complex.

If they had put that ball out wide, they would have had a 5 on 2

Slammed … a doc about Welsh rugby, an episode just started on BBC2. This one’s about the 80’s … a fallow period followed by the emergence of Jonathan Davies.
