Watch this one here.
It looks almost perfect.
Omur at the back splits.
But look at Fahey here, who joins from the side for a start.
Then he gets in front of Omur and he physically drags him over the line.
If you watch the replay, he drags him over the line.
How is that legal?
Well, to me... It looks worse.
Yeah, it doesn't look right.
And I still go back to the point of being... It's a contestable game and I don't see how the defensive side...
can actually stop this particular part of the game.
Well, they've got to look at players joining from the side.
That's against the law straight away.
What's going to happen, though, is if this does...
get to a stage where the mall then gets re-examined by the TMR upstairs.
We're going to have a three-hour game because you're going to go through 19 different replays of this, but it's not right.
And every time I watch it, I just think there's something that I don't get about this, how you've got a guy here, you've got players coming in from the side here, and somehow that's actually legal when it's against the rules.
I go right back to the Wales versus Scotland game where Scotland got out of jail against Wales, where one that looked illegal as well.
It seems to me it's an area of the game where no one is policing.
Everyone's looking the other way.
