[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 820842, member: 20605"] I would rather see a slow, [U]correct[/U] decision than a quick [U]wrong[/U] decision. The TMO was correct to check the actions of Dane Haylett-Petty, and in the end it was a 50/50 call. Whether you agree with the call or not depends largely on which team you support. Cheika will no doubt whinge on and on about this for a week or two, but the fact is that if the shoe had been on the other foot, and an All Black try had been allowed after a potential try saving tackler had ben intentionally been taken out in the same way, he would whinging about that too. 100%. If you don't want to force the referee or TMO to have to make a 50/50 call, then don't put them into play. The blame for the disallowing of Henry Speight's try falls fairly and squarely on the shoulders of one, and only one person... Dane Haylett-Petty. Cheika has some more serious problems to deal with than a couple of 50/50 calls that didn't go his way, like 1. Why his players missed [U][B]29%[/B][/U] of their tackles! (62 attempted, 18 missed) 2. How his team had 68% possession and 65% territory and yet were only able to score one try 3. Why his team were almost able to match the All Blacks running metres (503 v 523) yet conceded six tries and could have conceded eight were it not for two 50/50 calls that went their way. [/QUOTE]
