Quote: Him "Yep. I can understand there can be differences of opinion on some issues, but that was absolutely clear. The ball never touched the ground at any point.
I agree with Knockersbump, it doesn't show the sport in a good light when an obvious decision can't be reached by a full time referee looking at a video.
I can understand Child thinking it was a try in real time, that was utter incompetence from Silverwood though.'"
The daft thing was, Silverwood never said "yes it's a try".....he said he couldn't see a good angle so had to go with the on field decision.
Like you say I can understand when refs send some up as tries in realtime so likewise I can understand on a few occasions the VR isn't given great angles/replays to judge from to overturn but that was easy to see.
