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.

So all of this just lends to a conspiracy theory that the French TV broadcaster will show something that will have a positive outcome for the French side and they will not show any replays of something that might go against the French side.

In the middle, if you like, is a TMO sitting in a booth

who is supposed to have access to as many replays in different angles as the host broadcaster has, he doesn't intervene.

So it seems ridiculous that you can get stills of the Barbary incident and yet it wasn't seen.

How do they have an angle for this?

of the Barbary incident that wasn't seen by the TMO and wasn't available for replays or that the referee in question, and I thought Nika Amashikele struggled in the game as well a little bit.
