Because those are the rules. I don’t agree with them and judging by your post neither do you but you can’t blame a ref or VR for applying them. The VR has to have conclusive evidence and be 100% to overturn the decision. It then becomes subjective, do I think it should have been a try. Yes. Can I see why it wasn’t allowed given the refs call. Yes as Patten’s ball carrying arm raises after touching the floor albeit slightly.
I thought the first Patten NT was the right call but then second was wrong. I also thought the obstruction given when French was in the clear was wrong too.
