[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 869932, member: 39190"] Not to be contrary but I've now watched that tackle over and over and I can't say I'm convinced he is held. I'm leaning towards the ref's decision as as far as I can tell he goes beyond De la Fuente's reach as he goes to ground. Serfontein and Kolisi obstructs the view of the camera at that point though but I don't think De le Fuente has arms so long and the fact that Skosan is up and off in a single frame and the ref being right there kinda suggests to me that he is fine. Unless the ref intentionally let him go after feeling bad about wrongfully denying Jaco Kriel his try earlier calling a knock on from Skosan wrongly. That's said its marginal and split second stuff and I don't think anyone from our side would have had gripes if Skosan had been pinged. I'll take though. We've been on the wrong end of Poite's whistle often enough for us to not feel embarrassed over finding favor in one of his questionable calls. I wouldn't rate this as one of his more questionable calls either LOL. [/QUOTE]
