I really wanted to ask "JP - do you think it would be a good move to tell the players to chillax?" but couldn't bring myself to do it!

Interesting.

I've always considered 22.4(g):
Player in touch or touch-in-goal. If an attacking player is in touch or in touch-in-goal, the player can score a try by grounding the ball in the opponents’ in-goal provided the player is not carrying the ball.

... to mean that the player was on their feet and IT or TIG not lying down with half their body IT or TIG.

Funnily enough I was thinking about that after watching the clip last night, but does it really make a difference?

I think the incident WB is referring to was the George North try.

At least they agree there is still a way to go in relation to getting the scrum feed straight.
