[QUOTE="RC, post: 142634"] Yes, the video ref disallowed the try for the simple reason that there was deemed to be foul play going on when the try was scored. It wasn't specified what happened but it's quite clear the Sitiveni Sivivatu was held back and prevented from touching the ball down making it safe, thus enabling the Italian gentleman to get his mits on the ball. The video referee isn't allowed to referee what goes on in the field of play and so simply refs only what is given to him. The on-field referee made a glaring error and overlooked Bergamasco being obstructed in the field of play but the video ref cannot be faulted for the on-field referee's decision. The video ref could not just give a try because it was unfair that Bergamasco's incident was overlooked, because as we all know: two wrongs don't make a right. [/QUOTE]
