@pakman I think he got the top bodies to move and was able to see the Canes player with the ball grounded over the line. No other way to actually see the grounding as it happened
@canefan you motivated me to watch the replay again carefully.
On replay it is clear final Canes ‘try’ NOT scored.
Real time two Canes players were on the line blocking ball, and ‘Ref’ was behind maul.
By the time he uncovered bodies and saw ball on line one or two seconds had elapsed.
The grounding was at least a foot short, and he clearly did not see it. TJP knew it had been short, and was already in ref's ear.
The protocols ought NOT to allow ref to deduce a try was scored in such situations. It should have been TMO call.
And since no grounding on replay no try, and back for Canes penalty 10 yards out. [EDIT]
That said, Canes may well have scored from lineout, so can't say much injustice all said and done.

10 years? That’s generous

Really? If I was to describe it I'd say he looks like he has no idea where his lollies are (like his dad did).

Replay on at the moment and just saw the Laumape try again. The timing of his "goose step" with Barrett chasing him and basically out of his vision was superb. Also brings to mind something I've often thought - Laumape could well be decent cover for wing off the bench.
