[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 910031, member: 20605"] His match observer. He would probably have ripped Lacy a new one. Referees are answerable to their bosses when they make egregious Law errors, and overturning that try would have been one. The reality is that the try was going to scored anyway, either by DMac or Aaron Smith. The gap between DMac and Serin was a lot bigger than it looks from the live angle. This is apparent in the end-on view not which was not shown in the broadcast but was shown at the half time break when the Sky TV analysis team were discussing it. [MEDIA=youtube]FgegHFdGn1A[/MEDIA] Serin was trying to cover both DMac and Smith (remember the old saying [I]"The man who chases two rabbits, catches neither"[/I]?) Even if he could have got closer to Dmac before the pass was made, that would put him further from Smith, and no-one was covering him (the French OS flanker was still on the scrum) so he could simply have kept the ball and scored himself.
