Two wonderful experiences...

    Bound in but not bound (Maul)

    Maul is formed and a Yellow player is bound into the maul but both hands are free and above the bodies. He tries to compete for the ball managing to "swim" through the middle of the maul. He does not manage to win the ball. Would you allow or not?

    TMO Protocol

    Player grounds the ball against he foot of the post. Refere asks TMO "Is it a try - Yes or No?". TMO grounding is fine BUt the is a player pulled back so no try. Ignoring JUSTICE. Did the officials follow correct protocol inview of the question asked?
