[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 730993, member: 20605"] Part of the halting of Osborne's forward momentum was killed by Potgeiter's swinging arm. The protocol for assessing Foul Play for a Penalty Try, is that you remove the infringing player from the scene i.e. you assess what would have happened if the infringing player had [U]not been there at all[/U]. Osborne was literally millimetres short. Remove Potgeiter from the scene completely and I have absolutely no doubt Osborne would score. This video is of the Liam Williams shoulder charge that led to a penalty try against Wales. Listen to referee Steve Walsh as he talks through the protocol with the Welsh captain. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wtYc-PPCCE[/url] Now, you may not agree with the protocol, that's fine. But referees are expected to apply it, and when it is applied to this situation (Potgeiter/Osborne), a try is not only probable, is a near gold-plated certainty. [/QUOTE]
