THREE CHANGES TO STARTING XV TO TAKE ON THE NSW WARATAHS

[WFDom]

Anyone ever notice that the crew in charge of replays on the big screen have a tendency to flash up home team biased clips to get some crowd reaction and subsequent reviews from the officials? And conversely completely avoid any away team favouring replays?

Without watching the game again I’m pretty sure I shouted at the TV a couple of times about it (I’ll ask the dog)

Happened regularly in the 6N games. Especially Ireland at the Aviva.

Tin foil Trilby time for me?

I don't think it's an obvious bias - it is deliberate.

Being the home team - the majority of the crowd is going to be supporters of the home team.

I wouldn't expect anything less - Even at HBF Park.

Dom I think you should stick with you Force Members Cap.

Leave the tin foil for the SOB morons.

Missed the game and I only just saw the Swinton incident so I'm late to the outrage train, but how the fuck is that missed by all 3 match officials on the field and the TMO?

For the same reason that the final try wasn't reviewed despite there being a case for the Tahs player's foot being in touch before passing (I haven't seen a decent replay) and the first Tahs try having what appeared (live) to be a forward pass which wasn't reviewed either.

There was a response which indicated that the TMO feed is controlled by Stan and that the camera angles needed may not have been "available".

I’ve just replayed the Stan coverage of Swintons hit ….. It was in full view ….everything. There is absolutely no way that the TMO could or should’ve missed that . It was so late that maybe the on field ref team were concentrating further up field .
That should be 10 weeks mitigated up …..
DISGUSTING.
Final Try …. Foot in touch .

The TMO could have been blowing the froth off his Decaffeinated Latte, or squeezing his sauce on to his pie. Packing his first cone. Adjusting his scrote so he doesn't sit on his nuts.

If the TMO missed it, the cone would have already been packed and used.

Nah, based upon his performance in the rest of the game, he was intensely scrutinising the Force to see if somebody was marginally offside.
