During last Sats game with Cambridge, Redruth's maul collapsed over the line.
Ref. Nick Williams, to the obvious amusement of the crowd, gave the TMO signal, consulted with the TJ and awarded a try.
As he had previously YCed the Cambridge waterboy and conversed with a few hecklers thro' the game, all 'good naturedly' I might add, we thought the TMO signal was part of the 'fun' to help alleviate any unpleasant backlash from the last away game when the Reds were docked 10pts.
My ques. is, do refs use this signal now to inform the crowd that they are going into consultation, or was it his sense of humour?
I thought he controlled the game very well and thought the TMO signal a good idea irrespective.
