Blues v Canes

Ref - so you are happy with the pick up by 7 gold
TMO - in real time he picked it up cleanly
 
BUt with use of technology, he didnt....?

Canerbry

OOOOOOh cuntriversial.
 
I'm amazed the commentators were right.

taniwharugby

oh, so he isnt playing knock ons tonight

taniwharugby

if that pass is good, that is farking outstanding from Li

dingo

In "real time" is the ball forward?
 
Shit yes.

taniwharugby

maybe they should be looking at this in real time too

Glath

In real time that pass is backwards ref.

antipodean

Brilliant run but I think that last pass is forward, but only in slow-mo

And in real time, it would be forward. 
Blues should be worrying less about the TMO, and more about not putting themselves under pressure with penalties.

as was the knock before...
 
But yeah the Blues have been shite.

Crucial

What's this in real time stuff anyway? If you are going to ignore clear evidence of a knock on in slomo the you can't slomo a line ball. 
It has to be clear and obvious either way.

Yep, 
Dumb arse #1 flies into a ruck with his shoulder 
Dumb arse #2 plays the opposition in the air at the resulting lineout 
If you're then having to find the tiniest of possible knock ons in slow mo to save you from a try, then you're in for a season as long as the non-scrumming Chiefs.

No Quarter

That was bizzare logic from the refs and comms. A lot of things look good in real time. Obvious knock on. 
Awesome no-try from Li, man that kid has wheels.

Crucial

Don't get me wrong. I have long advocated for all rulings to be in real time but if you are going to frame by frame the grounding of a ball I don't see why a knock on gets different treatment.

taniwharugby

dunno, the comms in this game used it, then the TMO did in awarding the try...?
 
Agree, do not use slow mo if you are using 'real time' as the measure, am sure Sky would prefer that as they wouldnt need to do it in HD

Donsteppa

Maybe I'm being a dinosaur, but my first thought was that the Canes "knock on" would always have been a try in the pre-TMO era.

Blues look better when they get their pick and drive going

??
 
It isnt about saving anything, a small knock on is the same as a big knock on, still a knock on.
 
You just want decisions correct and consistent, and that is apparently what the technology is there for.

The Hurricanes one was 50/50. The Blues one was clearly forward. You can disagree with the decisions made but they weren't analogous.
