[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 737776, member: 72942"] Granted the horse has bolted and SA could not possibly hope to win the game with 5 mins left but........... Minute 75 - Poite gives penalty advantage to SA with Bosch off side at the breakdown. The off side position is 20 meters in from touch and 12 meters from the try line. Reinach takes a quick tap and dots down on the line. Poite does not stay at the penalty mark but watches Reinach take the tap and follows play. Calls time off. First question to TMO is try yes or no. TMO confirms it is a try. Second question did he take it from the mark - well obviously he didn't because Reinach was a meter in front of Poite and Poite already knows this because he watched him take the tap. Poite then indicates the mark as being 15 meters in from touch and 15 meters from the try line not where the off side infringement took place. Can anybody shed any light on the logic of Poite's decisions here. Why check with the TMO on try or not if he already knows it wasn't taken from the mark. Why indicate the mark as being somewhere completely different to the spot of the offside infringement. [/QUOTE]
