[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1175775, member: 56232"] With regards to the grounding, I think the main distinction is that it looked in all probability like it was done and being able to say it was definitely down. I think it was much more likely than not grounded. The main issue is, when he went over the line, his hand was under the ball. Whilst there is an image which appears to show the ball resting on the ground, I have not seen a picture in which we see his hand coming out from under the ball. I think without seeing his hand was clearly no longer under the ball, we cannot conclude that the ball was indeed grounded. It is all moot really because arguably Scotland should have been penalised in the proceeding scrum. It reminds me of a few years back where England scored a try against Wales in the dying minutes. Many Welsh fans claimed they threw the game away but ignored that Wales only got possession there through a completely illegal turnover in the first place. [/QUOTE]
