[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 652403, member: 24910"] When the TMO and the ref were discussing the decision there was no indication they were referring to any particular camera angle. When discussing the fact there was an English arm under the ball they weren't referring to 'a few seconds after', they were directly referring to when moment Brown hit the ground (with his own arm under the ball) - it was the only time the ball was even close to being grounded. I think you will find (like me) many people don't think it should have been a try. Why you ask? Because there was no evidence that the ball was grounded over the try-line. If there is feel free to post it :) Indeed there was plenty of evidence that the ball was held-up. As has been pointed out the biggest issue was perhaps the fact the wrong question was asked initially, but even then I feel there was enough evidence for Ayoub to rule the try out (though obviously people have different threshholds for proof), and I think there was a clear issue with the communication between the ref and the TMO.
