Italy v Argentina - 9 November 2024

Kinda get why he called it but should've let it go then checked with tmo considering he blew the whistle when he was over the line
 
He called tackle (incorrectly imo) so the Argentinian players have to release but he also has to place the ball on the ground before picking up and continuing.

If the ref hadn't called tackle, the Argentinian players wouldn't have let go.
Thanks for the explanation
Couldn't he wait for the try and rewatch it on TMO? (Like football, I Know)
 
Italy have been the author of their own issues.
 
That's probably up for debate. My opinion would be that once the ref has told the tacklers to release, he's affected the play too much to correct his initial mistake with the TMO.
Agreed. Poor reffing.
 
That's one way to stop the ref, rip the whistle out of his hand.
 
You are under their post and

Knock on

Play on

Three missed tackles

Try for them

I mean, all credits to Argentina for being so cynical and playing well (on our mistakes)

But the impression is that we are doing too many schoolboy errors to play at this level
 
In the immortal words of Mr Owens, he's straighter than some of these lineouts.
 
Can someone tell me their game clock time, trying to find out how far behind I am.
