Wow, 84000 plus creating a brilliant atmosphere, if only the game. was as popular over here, I suppose we can dream. Great game at half time nothing in it.

As I pointed out earlier, the rules state that the referee cannot change his decision unless prior foul play is involved. The Referee broke the rules by changing his mind but he’s only human and can make a mistake. However, having made the mistake he should have called for a scrum.

Was that rule re-written when they introduced two refs? Because what happens when they make a different call?

Assuming that still applies then it is an even worse mistake, but.. get on with it. When we let Liam Marshall run the length from that 20m restart this season, that was the same play so much worse. Obviously not as much at stake but still these things happen. Yes ref made some poor decisions and its disappointing but not the reason the game was lost.

It’s the rule in both ESL & NRL

My understanding is that each ref deals with a different thing, so they wouldn't be making different calls on the same thing - if that makes sense?

On your point about the CC sin-binning - he clearly tackled the man without the ball; it was a professional foul, and although I thought a sin-binning was harsh, it was technically the right call.

There is no defence for the referee changing his mind after calling 6 to go; he just got it wrong and in my view, it totally changed the game - which is a real shame at a showcase event, which was tight as a drum up to that point.

And i'd backed a field goal which was more likely at 8-8
