Except that in an evenly fought contest, a game that is won by that small margin - yes, win or lose is based on 1 element; Saints can hardly argue against that, given that last minute, clawed back wins are their raison d'aitre; Never Write Off and all that jazz?!
I have no skin in this particular game - but I hate to see a blood and guts, highly entertaining game like that won on a 100% erroneous decision - it's entirely unnecessary and damages the perception of the sport. If the ref had given the try live in play - fair do's - because it was at speed and he could be forgiven for missing the dropped ball; for the VR to give it after multiple replays was just unforgivable.
