[QUOTE="Five Meters Out, post: 869916, member: 72548"] The TMO referrals are a dogs breakfast. I'm sure there are psychological studies that show initial gut impressions will get it right the majority of times. As such the Ref needs to go with what he sees. He's the BOSS. If he's got doubt or the Touch judge comes in with a different view, Ref then goes to the TMO. He should say loud and clear (so we can all hear) "I see it this way and this is how I will rule." "Unless you can say I've definitely got it wrong, I will rule as I've seen it". There should be no "I can't tell" or "it looks 50-50 to me" or "me and the TMO disagree so you need to rule" from the Ref. At the same time he waves the Captains away - they play no part in it. This way it's clear cut. Folou gets his try, Barrett gets his try, and the Lions prop is penalised for offside in the Lions v AB's 3rd Test. [/QUOTE]
