Dunno, haven't watched the replay. Whomever (whoever?) was outside Mo'unga at the time. Might take a look tomorrow. I'll be sure to let you know, even if I am mistaken š

@crazy-horse why bother pulling the jersey of a player outside Mounga if Mounga is just gonna run him out if room anyway? š

@kiwimurph don't think the Weber decision was so bad, but it was the end result of very poor calls prior, that should have seen him not carded.
I'm talking about the tackle on Mounga not the card.

@bones being the spastic, I couldn't sleep until I had proven some random polish chick wrong on the internet, so I looked at the replay. It looks like it is Stevenson pulling the jumper of the Crusaders 6 as Mo'unga makes the break. Slows the 6 down a bit. I don't think Mo'unga was ever going to pass him the ball but who knows. Not a biggie, but I have seen plenty of penalties come from similar plays before. Glad I didnt imagine it after all!

@crazy-horse forward pass makes it irrelevant though right? š¬

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 didnāt have this photo to go by. Iām happy with the āclear and obviousā way of deciding.
Considering that 3 on field refs couldnāt even see when a player played the ball a whole metre past the dead ball line in another instance this one wasnāt 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 didnāt really make a call on foot in touch.
If ref has said no try, TMO wouldnāt 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.
