Someone has brought this incident up on another forum I follow. The poster there said that the referee mentioned the ball having crossed the plane of the touchline, so I can only assume that he and the TJ both thought that Roko's feet were off the ground which would indeed mean that the ball was dead. However if this was the case, my understanding is that he would have been in touch when he played the ball, so it should have been a Bath lineout. Thoughts referees?
If you Google Tom Foley, you'll see that he's no stranger to controversy in his 25 AP games so far.
if his feet are off the ground and the ball has crossed the touch line all that matters is where his feet are
