Just saw that Crusaders "try" to the winger.
Wow.
Sure, the Crusaders were probably too good (haven't seen the game), but fuck you understand where the reputation of being favoured comes from.
Is that the first one where Faiunga'anuku might have dragged his foot on the grass? Was ok with that ss it wasn't "clear and obvious,".

On my screen it clearly looked like his foot hit the ground and bounced back. On both angles.

That's a clear foot on the ground.
Marshall and TJ pulling on about woderful try which wasn't.
For me 95% certain toe touched ground. No clear evidience of being out, surely doen't mean 100%? So 99% is not clear.
BULLSHIT.
Wht do NZ refs get tipsy when reffing Chch???

Then another try that wasn't and Weber wrongly in the bin for ten, during which Chch get soft try.
After 50 we ought to have had a contest to watch.
Relentless this, relentless that, the only relentless thing was the commentary circle jerk.

Call me crazy as a Chiefs fan but I would give him the benefit of the doubt. If you aren't 100% sure he grazed a blade of grass then give him the try. It didn't bounce of the ground IMO, just possibly touched grass.
I'm 100%

The protocol needs review. Perhaps ref should have said that grounding was good but not sure of touch. Was it on balance of probabilities alright?
NO TRY.

Can't say I like the sound of that. Whose probabilities?
His foot hit the ground, the protocol doesn't need reviewing.

TMO didnât have this photo to go by. Iâm happy with the âclear and obviousâ way of deciding.
Considering that 3 on field refs couldnât even see when a player played the ball a whole metre past the dead ball line in another instance this one wasnât a howler. The Weber one was though. -

On my feed the picture was fuzzy.
There seems to be a presumption the TMO has to be certain to overrule ref.
But ref didnât really make a call on foot in touch.
If ref has said no try, TMO wouldnât have overruled him.

NO TRY.
Problem was the ref called it try, the TMO needed to find clear and obvious evidence he didn't score, which IMO was not available.
If ref had said he was out due to being in touch, I'd say the TMO would have ruled with the ref then too.
For me on the evidence last night, I thought he had to have touched grass, but it wasn't a clear contact either (it was an outstanding effort to get the ball down though)
I think the officials had a por night all round last night.

Unless he was taking a lead from the TMO in the England v France game. Ref says held up. Pictures inconclusive yet TMO decides there was a good chance the try was scored and overrules.
Mind you there were also other big differences in the interpretations. In SRA a jack led can no longer touch the ground beyond the ball. In 6N it appeared that planting your hands to stabilise yourself before attacking the ball is allowed.

That said, Earl penalised for exactly that just now against Frogs.

Worth remembering that the first chiefs try given by the TMO was pretty dodgy too. Dmac was tackled short and clearly propelled himself forward with his knees.
So not a great night for the TMOâs. -

Whatâs the fucking point of a fucking captains challenge if the fucking TMO is a fucking blind fuck!
Tbe mistake made was having only one captainâs review. It should be like cricket. If you are successful you retain your review.
That is exactly how it works - a successful challenge is retained.

So not a great night for the TMOâs.I was about to mention the first Chiefs try was just as contentious as the 'foot in touch' try. As well as the propelling himself it could be argued he rolled the ball forward too. Is that allowed?
I think one problem the refs and TMO have is that their conversations are there for all to hear on the telly and they are obviously well aware of that. I reckon that hinders the decision making process because they would feel like they can't discuss things to the same extent they would if things weren't being broadcast.

Can only watch on my phone screen right now, but the only thing "clear and obvious" was he was wearing a Crusaders jersey đ
Grounding was suspect, touch was suspect
