[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 909329, member: 20605"] Unfortunately, there is no Law that allows the referee to overturn that try. The Law makes no provision for accident blocking of a would be tackler. He can only stop play if the the ball or the ball carrier touches him and either side gets an advantage. This is exactly what Angus Gardiner was telling him when they were both standing looking at the big screen. [COLOR=#0000ff]LAW 6: REFEREE THE BALL OR BALL-CARRIER TOUCHES THE REFEREE OR NON-PLAYER 10. If the ball or the ball-carrier touches the referee or other non-player and neither team gains an advantage, play continues. If either team gains an advantage in the field of play, a scrum is awarded to the team that last played the ball. 11. If the ball-carrier touches the referee or other non-player in in-goal and either team gains an advantage: a. If the ball is in possession of an attacking player, the referee awards a try where the contact took place. b. If the ball is in possession of a defending player, the referee awards a touch down where the contact took place. 12. If the ball is touched by the referee or other non-player in in-goal, the referee judges what would have happened next and awards a try or a touch down at the place where the contact took place.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
