In fact, she overruled herself the other day, which was terrific.
She was, let's say, I can't remember exactly.
Let's say she was giving the try.

that you shouldn't give the try.
And she said more or less, well, I have, I have enough evidence to see that I shouldn't have awarded the try.
So we're going 22 meter drop up.
Everybody accepted it because it was the correct decision.
