[QUOTE="collace, post: 1084312, member: 70762"] Don’t want to be seen to be harping on about it – we’ve all had decisions go against us and time to move on. I only posted the link as it’s not often the head of referees will come out publicly against a TMO post-match. Also agree that SA have been shafted in games in Europe so don't want this to come across as sour grapes. My view on it is that the Stormers player dislodged the ball – whether through contact with the ball or hand – and (from an Ulster point of view) the ball travelled backwards. If the ball has travelled backwards then once the Ulster player lands on it it’s a grounding. I can see other interpretations but can’t see how it’s deemed to have gone forwards from the Ulster player. What I don’t think is in any doubt is that the TMO had his mind made up from the beginning and was determined to stick that decision through despite the concerns of the ref. [/QUOTE]
