Yep. He said double movement straight away. Then as the replays continue you can tell what the VR is looking at and so what he’s thinking, only then does Cummings change his tune and suddenly start making up bo!!ocks. Bizarrely saying “you need to view it at full speed” while watching a slow mo replay.
Cummings will always back the ref and justify their decisions regardless. I can remember a few years back a try being disallowed because an attacker jumped for a high kick and made contact with the defender whilst doing so. The rule is and always has been as long as he’s looking at and playing for the ball the contact is irrelevant. But Cummings came up with some rubbish about the attacker can’t make contact with the defender.
His commentary is entirely irrelevant as it’s not based on the actual rules. It’s only based on backing up the refs.
