[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 696931, member: 40658"] Isn't this more of a concern about the broadcaster and the venue? I mean let's take the Rugby Championship as an example. In South Africa we use Supersport as the broadcaster, they have about 20 HD cameras around the field and a few higher up in the stands. They also provide the communications to the referees and we as the fans can hear the discussions the referee is having. They also have a microphone in the TMO box so that we can hear the conclusion of the decision. Now let's take Argentina, when the Boks were playing them in Argentina there was only 4 cameras used during the game, and the one mostly used was a wide angle from the main stand. Steve Walsh had to talk to his TMO via cellphone!! The TMO's can only use what is available to them at the grounds to make a clearer decision. [/QUOTE]
