Defence in this game was truly shocking.

But that's not how the video refereeing system was initially pitched.

The mantra was - "It'll stop all the controversy".

It hasn't. Moreover, it appears to be adding to it.

Predictably SKY has done what all high-tech companies do when they encounter a problem - they've thrown even more technology into the fray.

Now we get uncertainty at 1/1000th of a sec freeze frame - instead of uncertainty at match speed.

You've heard of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle? The more you look - the less you see.

I should also add - SKY is now slowing replays down to a point beyond the time it takes for a command to exit the human brain and arrive at a muscle group.

I just thought I'd point this out given all the talk about "control".

I still have no idea why its not working in SL. It seems to be working well in the NRL, much better since they made the refs make a call.

That wouldn't stop Sky showing several replays from several angles. If a try gets awarded from the 'ref's view' angle and then it's shown afterwards from another angle to not be a try then again people will kick off.

You can't have Sky games and NOT have the VR. It won't stop the arguments because we will see the several different angles and replays. Sky won't stop showing them just because we've asked not to have a VR.

In cricket you can't get rid of the review system now because Sky will show a dozen replays of the ball hitting the stumps.

In football they'll show a dozen replays of whether the ball crossed the line.

In Tennis they'll show whether the ball was in or out.

You simply can't have TV match in todays age WITHOUT some sort of review system, because the TV company showing it WILL review it over and over again because they're more interested in showing controversial moments above anything else. Sky will spend 5 minutes discussing a dodgy grounding compared to 60 seconds talking about a great team try.

This is what I am saying, SKY are showing far too many replays from multiple angles, the rugby union replays seem to have the right balance. Less reviews and camera angles equals less controversy, errors from the ref at match speed is just about acceptable, errors from the VR at slow mo speed is definitely not.
