@booboo To me, it's inconclusive.
From a still as opposed to the slomo video? I think you might be in a minority.
Not worth debating because Hirini scored immediately, but I think the ref missed that.
What did the ref miss though? It went backwards. Play on.

@ACT-Crusader If the Aussie slapped the ball out of Miller's hands, it went forward for the Aussie. The ref said it went backward, because he saw it as Miller dropping the ball. Anyway, as Hirni scored, it fortunatley didn't matter for the result.

Watching it live I just thought Miller dropped it cold so because it went backwards play on.

New players are Rhodes Featherstone and Xavier Tito–Harris
XTH has been looking sharp on the wing for the Blues u20's
Does anyone know much about Featherstone?
He is tall and full of energy - a flanker. Should have been in the team before this from what I have seen.
