And I thought Luke Pearce was clear and concise in all of his direction.

And whether you agreed or disagreed with the...

the outcome, if you like, of his decisions.

I thought he wasn't necessarily helped by his TMO in Tempest either.

And then you go fast forward to Sunday and we get back into the French TV directors not showing replays of certain things, the TMO Ben Whitehouse.

EPCR have a TV deal and they have broadcasters.

So when you're in certain countries, it's those broadcasters that broadcast the games.

So you'd have a local broadcaster as to what pictures you can give.

And this is what EPCR have come out before and said, oh, you know, the TMO is privy or has different camera angles to those that are shown.

Well, none were shown basically in replays.

I don't even know.

He just kept saying, we're looking at it in the background.

But the issue then is that if you look at the collision, obviously there were stills available after the game.

That's substantiated.

They're talking about a number of incidents, all pretty much involving Alfred Barberi, the ref.

Bath number eight and there was a head on head with Maxime Lucu and they got stills of the collision and it's head on head.

There's no doubt about it.

It looked head on head at the time.

There were another couple of other decisions that weren't replayed.

There was one instance that was in favor of the Bordeaux side and that got several replays.
