Quote captaindan="captaindan"Sorry, been off line.
I do think that it should be used. But the way it would be administered would need to be very cut and dry.
When the radio system first came out, many of the referee's would take the earpeice out as too much information was shouted by everyone. Now it is far better with touch judges only commenting using set terms and phrases, and this helps the clarity of what is being said. The video ref would need the same discipline and there should be a guideline perhaps that if play has gone on beyond the next ptb, it could/should not be called back, just placed on report. Otherwise we risk slowing the game down to a sereis of penalties and scrums.'"
Agree, but what happens if there is an awful incident in back play that the VR picks up but the game has gone on 2 tackles? Are fans going to be happy in that knowledge?
Quote captaindanI would like to see the video ref used to clarify each penalty or knock on and he would ONLY speak if he disagreed with the referee's decision.

I disagree for the reason you state in your last sentence above.
