[QUOTE="40/20, post: 1165715, member: 81577"] [URL='https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/27/sport/sportable-rugby-ball-technology-forward-pass-spc-intl/index.html'][U]https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/27/sport/sportable-rugby-ball-technology-forward-pass-spc-intl/index.html[/U][/URL] Probably the simplest explanation I've come across - but also highlights how impossible it is to judge without ball tracker tech. In my view what's exacerbated the debate - and frustration - amongst fans is the fact TMOs are micro analyzing marginal passes using flawed tools i.e. less than ideal camera angles. Until more accurate tools like ball tracking are available, IMO we simplify things by axing TMO review and reverting back to the 3 officials on the pitch making the call. If they get the odd one wrong, so be it. Its an imperfect game played by imperfect humans. Works for the other code fine and while they still get the odd howler, the noise dies down pretty quickly.
