[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 865779, member: 74121"] Are you guys seriously suggesting that Poite's decision to change the penalty to an attacking scrum was not influenced by the replays on a giant screen that included said infringement that he watched repeatedly with his touch judge? Even when in watching the replay, and after establishing that it was a fair challenge, Poite then repeatedly views the offside infringement and clearly states "player in an offside position"; thereby, 100% showing with absolute irrefutable clarity that he was considering the offside whilst reviewing the replay? The link is below for those who think the interpretation of Which Tyler and Ncurd holds any weight whatsoever and you can judge with your own eyes. Note that there is no sign whatsoever of the touch judge providing an input that might have made Poite revise his opinion. [MEDIA=youtube]CtDnkqIv4Mk[/MEDIA] It was an unfortunate set of refereeing circumstances: i) blowing early when NZ had a clear shot at a try - thereby failing to play the clearest of advantages. ii) clearly and repeatedly reviewing and commenting on TMO pictures for a non-referrable offence that occured after the collision that was being reviewed (if the accidental offside had happened before the challenge in the air by Reid then it would have been impossible to avoid watching it and I'd have been more sympathetic to the ref) . iii) adjudging catching a ball, travelling half a metre with it and then dropping it is "accidental" iv) changing his decision not based on any consultation with the touch judge (as the microphone clearly picks up). Phew indeed that some posters here aren't referees! :D [/QUOTE]
