[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 749100, member: 57663"] [SIZE=3][FONT=arial] [/FONT][/SIZE]So here's the official rule (I think it's up to date): [B]Double Movement[/B] [SIZE=4]A try will be awarded if:[/SIZE] ‘a tackled player’s momentum carries him into the opponents’ in-goal where he grounds the ball even if the ball has first touched the ground in the field of play’. Section 6 (3) (c) In the process of scoring a try a player in possession must not promote the ball from the position the ball has been grounded. If the momentum of the player in possession carries him into the opponents in goal area,it will not be a double movement if the ball would have finished over the goal line regardless of any subsequent movement of the ball or the arm carrying the ball . [SIZE=3][FONT=arial]I agree with you that it shouldn't be a try, BUT, I think the complicating issue here is that the on field ref called try and hence the video ref needed "sufficient [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=arial][SIZE=3]evidence" to overturn the on field decision. Unfortunately this is where I think the video ref process comes unstuck a bit because it perhaps leaves it open for individual interpretation. I am not certain how "sufficient evidence" is defined, But either way, one must assume here that the video ref must have thought there was not enough evidence to sufficiently prove that the ball did not touch the chalk in the original movement. I've watched it several times now and it looks to me there was enough evidence to overturn, but clearly the video ref did not agree. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
