[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 662040, member: 12207"] I disagree and argue that the Nadolo case is a clear error of law. If you watch him as he slides over, the ball slips out of his hands has he's attempting to ground it and his foot is being dragged into touch. His fingers are barely touching the ball as it hits the grass and it's not technically being "grounded" when it does. So it's a clear error of law in my view. Have a look for yourself though: [IMG]http://rugbywrapup.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Nadolo-try.gif[/IMG] You can see right at the end he's clearly lost the ball. The only way that becomes an error of judgement is if you think that he judges the foot not to have gone in touch in spite of it being pretty clear that it does, and then also take the meaning of the verb "to ground" to include dropping something on the ground. It didn't matter thankfully, but it was a [B][I]massive [/I][/B]error. [/QUOTE]
