World Rugby need to learn to accept that fans like you will get angry at calls they perceive as going against their team and be okay with that. Worked fine for the 100 years that preceded TMO.

Yeah its infecting the game with the same issues VAR brings i.e. the moment of apotheosis is poisoned because you can't celebrate it. Its also really dumb that the highest possible standard is applied to the moments before a try but not to the rest of the game.

All three tries (including the Fiji try) should have stood. Huge detriment to the sport reffing that way.

Great to hear.

Both?

Anyone else get the feeling the ref wanted to call the try good but couldn't because the TV presenter couldn't find the reverse angle he was asking for after five fucking minutes of replaying the same angle.

TMO was officious and slow in the Tahs game too.

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Skelton and Valetini would make a massive difference.

He doesnt get close enough to register a miss

There were three key issues that turned this from a comfortable win to a desperate escape from jail. 1. Two (maybe three?) obstructions at the attacking lineout. Theyve been hard on this in Super Rugby all year so no excuses. 2. Failing to end the half like a normal team 3. Tom Wright forgetting how to...

Donaldson surely.

The replay of Nick Frost getting run around for that break out try is an offence to the eyes. He has about a metre to cover and gets through none of it.

Called it on Frost before the game. Bloke is stealing a living. Has the lateral movement of an ocean freighter.

Fuck me that was hard on the heart

Tom Wright has gone full rocks.
