[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 790378, member: 39190"] TBH I think Peyper opting for yellow up till the TMO almost forcing his hand was a bit of a cop out on the part of Peyper and he was being too lenient but was influenced by the crowd, the TMO and De Jongh being up in his face. Right call at the end of the day but the wrong lead up IMO from both the ref who should've backed himself once he made a decision IMO and the TMO who stepped over the line (or has the protocol changed that I'm unaware of?). On Lleyds' try. I cannot see a clear seperation though I'm not saying what I don't see didn't occur. I think it depends on what wording the ref used in referral. The question in my mind is did Lleyds think he didn't score because he lost control or lost the ball fully. Did Peyper refer the try because he saw something and felt Lleyds was being ignorant of the law? We'd have to ask the player and Peyper though. I am of the opinion though that if a player says he didn't score lets just take his word for it. Now Lleyds comes across looking naive whereas he was only trying to be honest which is something I feel needs to be encouraged in sport in general. It'd also have helped with cutting down on the constant TMO referals. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] At the end of the day we played cleverly and it worked because our kicking game was stronger as well as our set piece on the whole. We played the percentages, took our points and got away with a win. Brumbies' frustration on the back of that and a good defensive effort cost them a chance. [/QUOTE]
