Can somebody tell me why the hell did they use a white ball in that game?

I never thought the game would be called off. You could always see to the halfway line from the back of the posts so that in effect meant all four corners could be seen from the middle.
I think the delay was more in the hope that it would either improve or get too bad that it could be called off.

The rule is that you need to be able to see all four corner flags from the stands at the ends of the ground.

So it absolutely NEVER should have gone ahead then !!!

The RFL Match Commissioner reckoned he could just about see the flags when interviewed by SKY before kick-off. Maybe he has super-dooper infra-red vision.

I was under the impression it was from the middle


I think at the end of the day it wont have hindered the players too much because the majority of rugby is rarely more than 40 metres between the two fullbacks. May not have been great for us spectators but after travelling down there it would have been even more dissapointing for the game to be postponed.
