[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 744050, member: 72942"] In yesterday's incident it appeared as though the pass was fwd on the action replay. Veldsman being the consummate professional advised Owens CHECK CHECK, meaning he wanted to check the last two movements before the conversion is taken. Owens explained that if the ref gets a call from the TMO before the kick is taken he has to go back and check. If the conversion is already taken then they cannot go back and check. It was Poite's job to advise the ref that the last pass was possibly fwd and was worth a TMO check. Bottom line is he didn't do his job. When looking at the replay it is unbelievable that Poite didn't see it - he was perfectly placed!!! So I guess we need this system of checks in the interests of fairness. Poite's errors of judgement have cost teams in the past and as long as he is out there he will continue to foul things up. [/QUOTE]
