No PT for me either. potentially YCs but nothing there to say a try would probably be scored.

not sure the 10 took a quick tap correctly just after that either.

Interesting call in the Toulouse Harlequins game. Lynagh kicked a 50-22. Contact with the ball was clearly beyond halfway but his standing foot was possibly in his own half. French TV didn't like it as the replayed it Numerous time unike the kick chase where Kinghorn was probably ahead of the...

Interesting. Had a discussion Saturday with a couple of colleagues at a club match. The home team, 2XV went into the changing rooms at Half time without discussing this with the ref or visiting team. One of the guys recalled an old school ref many years ago dragging a team back out and...
