That was a poor TMO decision.
What is the point of TMOs.
Wasted several minutes of our lives for a plain wrong decision. Wasn't even a hard one.
I'd be perfectly ok with the ref missing that in real time, and we just got in with it.

In looking whether Buckman was offside, which part of Luke Whitelock's body should they have looked at? Whitelock's left arm was stretched forward, so arguably his hand was in front of Buckman's foot. In that case, the TMO's decison was correct. But if they can only look at Whitelock's feet, there's room for doubt. There was no good camera angle though.

ball is the offside line, isn't it?

The funny thing about the Oz teams is that they have plenty of talent - especially the Tahs - and with a bit of ball they can do good things. When Foley and Folau are going well with front foot ball, they look a different team to their recent shitness.
The Landers have just been unable to take advantage of opportunities - they had plenty of ball, but dropped it both times they had the Tahs under pressure. They're lucky to be one point back IMO.
