Hi All,
A pretty good game Saturday. Enternaining at least..
I'm surprised I haven't seen any post on Cuthbert try and the TMO decision, so here I go.
When the ref calls for TMO he asks if there is "any obstruction in the mid field".
After reviewing the action TMO answers "There is no clear and obvious obstruction, you may award the try".
Looking at the video (on youtube here) there is an obstruction.
Is it clear and obvious? I would answer yes as I saw it before the replay.
Is it material? I guess that debatable, but at that level of rugby, I guess the little push O'Driscoll gives is enough for the Oz Centre to miss Cuthbert.
Am I the only one to think that way?
Happy to get your views...
Cheers,
Pierre.
