The TMO was correct to disallow the two tries. The first was a clear obstruction by a player who'd gone past the ball and the other was a forward pass/smuggle of the ball in the maul.My problem with the officiating today was the missing of what appeared to be clear forward passes.
The most satisfying aspect is that it was absolutely incontestable. Even the most one-eyed Kiwi has absolutely nothing to cling to. No dodgy decisions, no "what ifs". Just plain old beaten, in every area.
I thought that the bloke in front of George put his hands on the ball, so that's a forward smuggle
