The refereeing in Rugby

[xsnaggle]

I was in the minority in the pub who said I didn't think he was in control of the ball. He didn't exactly have downward pressure on the ball either.

Dembe, the point was the TMO said it was no try because the English player had his hand on it first, which is quite clearly not the case. He didn't even bother to look at it from all the camera angles.
It is now on record as the fastest TMO decision in the history of the game, and his reason for denying the try is shown to be totally incorrect!

That is what has caused all the furore!

The rules state you just to have touched the ball with any part of the upper body.i think.
