[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 688057, member: 39190"] I loved the challenge system in the Varsity cup. I'm all for blatantly undermining the ref's calls if they are not up too scratch and the TMO can confirm that. The Maties- UCT final in 2011/2? was a brilliant example. If I remember correctly two tries were disallowed because the defending captain knew of knocks ons and illegal play leading up to the try. Correct decision made and it doesn't even take that long since the ref can now back himself rather than go to the TMO after every try knowing the onus is on the defending captain and he'll challenge if he feels there is a legit challenge. It cuts out the anti climax of tries these days being refered 70% of the time. I'm all for instant celebration and then the drama of a score being overturned if the call was incorrect. [/QUOTE]
