Absolutely.

And that's what we want the TMO to do in a try situation.

Maybe not four passes that weren't.

There's nothing that can be done here.

I think so.

And also, there could have been a yellow card that was coming anyway because he slaps the ball out of the way, which creates the penalty offence in the first instance.

He takes the tap.

It appears to be ahead of the mark, but you're allowed to do that.

Yeah, it says near, and the definition's near is within one metre.

So I think it says two in actual the Super Rugby sort of thing.

It's a long way.

It's a long way.

And so then the ref's ready to go because he's obviously hot on it because he sees that they're coming on attack.

The ball's been disrupted.

He wants to give him the penalty.

He's straight up, lets the player play it.

But how do you defend against it?

Because you've got to get back behind the try line.

Yeah, I think you made that point with that Roy Gard aspect is that within the five metre, within the 10 metres of the try line, is there some sort of differential that needs to come into play there?

Because otherwise, what are you meant to do as a defending team?
