Should the try be allowed to italy (6nations rugby)?

Question

personally i don't think so as the ball couldn't be seen...

Answer 1

When a try goes to the TMO, the words of the ref have a lot to do with the TMO's decision!

In this case, the asked "is there any reason not to award a try"

as the replayed showed, the ball could not be seen, therefore there was no DECISIVE (key word) reason why  the try could not be giving!

In the England v Wales game the ref asked the TMO

"try or no try"

the TMO said "no try".

It is all down to the wording of the ref!

Answer 2

Yes. There were no Irish players under the player with the ball so there was nothing to prevent the touch down.

Answer 3

I agree...how can they give a try when they couldnt see if the ball touched the ground!!!!!

Answer 4

my hubby reckons it should - i missed it so have no idea

Answer 5

yes.

It was across the line and not dropped so the presumption must be a try if it cannot be seen in that situation
