[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 960985, member: 71899"] Players can be under whatever impression they want. What they think (or hear for that matter) doesn't define reality. I've just watched a whole game reffed by Nigel Owens and he doesn't always call "ruck" to indicate one has formed. Does that mean there weren't any and thus no offside lines were established? In the same way refs don't call "tackle" all the time (it would be nonsense). As I've repeatedly said it's a complex call and the ruck formed by Kitshoff / ALB is fleeting. Indeed the only conclusion I can draw is that Jerome Garces did indeed think that no ruck had been formed (though how he ignores the tackle is beyond me). That's why he allowed play to continue. However, as demonstrated up-thread in my view he has erred in his judgement. [/QUOTE]
