[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 688060, member: 39190"] When it comes to something like hands in the ruck there are clear cut instances of foul play and then you get 50/50's where it's a case of timing or interpretation. In those instances it'd make sense for the TMo to uphold the ref's initial decision or lack thereof IMO; I think captain's won't be refering those if they start losing their referals. Clear foul play and clear cases of knock ons, massively forward passes and suuch were the things being refered in the Varisty cup. You didn't really get any 50/50's being challenged. And it's not really a challenge is it? Or at least it shouldn't be seen as challenging the ref. Ego's shouldn't come into play here. The motivation for having a challenge system is acknowledging the limitations of one person to effectively referee a match of rugby completely faultless and this is a system to assist the ref to do so; a case of 'let me assist you to make the right decision' rather than 'i challenge your wrong decision' if that makes any sense? You effectly have all 33 men on the field monitoring the game as the players can go through their captains to highlight an issue that the ref missed. [/QUOTE]
