A group of us mostly Saints but 1 Bath supporter were watching the Amlin final last night. All agreed that generally JG had a decent enough game and got most of the calls right.
We were split on the award of the second Saints try when in goal and the wrestling match between the Saints and Bath players.
The replay seemed to show that the attempt to ground the ball the first time, the ball was placed onto the boot and then at the second attempt the ball was grounded by both Saints and Bath players.
I would have been comfortable with this had this not been the second attempt to score.
Tried to find a reference to this scenario but all could find was reference to double movement. This whole passage of play was probably approx. 4 seconds.
NB cannot post a clip as at work and you tube etc not allowed.
