It's more a case of scaling technology back to use it for matters of fact, rather than opinion. I don't know why they can't check if someone is in front of a kicker as well.

If two people can't agree whether obstruction has occurred then I would argue it's the law that's the problem.

Simplify the laws and have the video ref make sure that all have been enforced properly.

Obstruction is a simple one - you can't run behind your own player unless they have just passed/offloaded the ball to you. The onus should be on the attacking side to not be in the way of the defensive line. It doesn't have to be harder than that.

This risks big games ending up being decided by terrible decisions that could easily have been avoided.

That's how i see it too Jim.

Because thats up to these inept linesmen to sort out.

No doubt this new change will benefit some teams at the summer bash.

Another almighty cock up by video ref tonight

The VR wasn't asked to look at the Cas try ,if that's what you're alluding to. The second one the VR got it right.

Ref just made an on field call as a knock on. In my.opinion the video ref shouldn't be able to just interfere whenever he wants and change calls.

The tackle in the air penalty is very inconsistently penalized for. Shenton was tackled in the air very obviously and Saints got a penalty!

So,DP doesn't even know what's going on with the referees atm.

He never does when Cas lose.
