@gt12
its one clearly defined rule though 2 phases. if it had happened to our advantage i would have thought that the other fans would be pissed offI wouldn't be. What's a phase defined as?

I think the law about the TMO itself is very vague, and the application guidelines aren’t loading:
Law 6.15
A match organiser may appoint a television match official (TMO), who uses technological devices to clarify situations relating to:
The grounding of the ball in in-goal.
Touch or touch-in-goal in the act of grounding the ball or the ball being made dead.
Where there is doubt as to whether a kick at goal has been successful.
Where match officials believe an infringement may have occurred in the playing area leading to a try or preventing a try.
Foul play, including sanctions.
Any of the match officials, including the TMO, may recommend a review by the TMO. The reviews will take place in accordance with the TMO protocol which is available at http://laws.worldrugby.org/downloads/TMO_Protocol_Jan_18_EN.pdf -

found this on rugbyworld.com was rules explained for 6 nations 2020
Can the TMO intervene on any matter they like?
No, the TMO in rugby is basically restricted to two crucial areas:
- The scoring of a try, whether the grounding of the ball or the build-up to the try. Any infringement within the two phases prior to a try would render it illegal.
A referee can also use the TMO’s help to ascertain whether a kick went between the posts, but that’s quite a rare occurrence.
- Possible foul play. The TMO is free to communicate with the referee at any time if he sees something he suspects is foul play. Equally, the referee can ask the TMO to look at an incident, either while the game continues or after stopping play.

whether to let an accidental offside go or not...just ask Poite about it*
- I know different circumstances, but still something to ponder given both went upstairs too

That was a weird moment (highlighted by Marshall) when Laulala was allowed to get away with stopping Smith immediately after he took a quick tap.
Other refsblues fansmight have called that deliberate foul play, delaying the quick tapFIFY 😉

So I don't read that as saying they're only allowed to go back two phases. Which means if the guidelines are the same then he's well within his rights to disallow the try.

So the whole game chat is a minute law discussion?
Cute

Just watched it again with volume up, and I reckon the AR must’ve seen something because when the refs came together after the DMac dotted down, they were pretty quick to refer it and at least one of them said so.
And I think someone mentioned it earlier that these types of situations often get overlooked. I don’t think they do. The refs are pretty good at picking it up.

There is no way we have enough depth for 8 strong teams, what a fucking dream
But we do, 8 teams would be at least the equal to the level of the 5 in Oz
We also don’t know how good a lot of the fringe players could get if they given several games in a row rather than filling in here and there

Well it's not, but hey it was a pretty tight game. Why not discuss seemingly minute things.
Oh and...look at the scoreboard.

What a comeback!
Smith is playing fucking well this year. Has to be the form player in NZ.Frizell and MMT were good too. I’ve said it before but it is crazy the depth coming through for that 6/8 spot that has been such an issue since Kaino left.
Boshier would be a good shot at the third choice 7
for the ABs. Not sure he is actually supporting his own body weight for some of those turnovers though.On the Dmac non try. The fuck up was them missing the offside in the first place. Having a whinge about them correcting the mistake is stupid.

Just watched. My goodness. I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but there is something about seeing Aaron Mauger and Tony Brown celebrating at the expense of Gatland that warms my heart.
