Quote: shinymcshine "So why did Silverwood decide, that with all his years of refereeing experience, that he was unable to make what you suggest is such an obvious call ?
I suggest you're being influenced by what occurred subsequently, not basing it on the evidence at the time.
Its Childs that shouldn't have awarded a try based on something he didn't actually see.
But hey, as they say, its all today's chip wrappings'"
Yet later on he sent another up to the video ref and said " try I HAVE SEEN IT ON THE LINE" when it got nowhere near the line and silverwood who by now must have put his spectacles on overturned it, as it at no point got near the line.
