Rugby yet again showed how to use technology today when in the England semi the on field refreree gave a try but then had an honest conversation with the TMO in order to make the right decision without any concern about being found to have got the decision wrong.
The Brighton penalty again highlights the inconsistency. It was less clear and obvious than other appeals (even Jack at Palace was more of a foul). Potentially, VAR can be good but when a subjective decision is made by a bloke in the studio, overriding the bloke on the field, it is not being used correctly. Things aren't helped by Dermot Gallagher going on TV each week claiming that the right decision was made.
It's been brought in to help referees and it does. It gives them something to hide behind. Now instead of criticising the on field official we have to hope for the patronage of some mysterious TV viewer.It's utter crap.Bring back the way they did it in Russia please.
