Yet another heartbreaker. Glasgow this time. Do Newport need special permission to win a match or something?
Well played though, they deserved at least a draw. O'Brien played well, and the Dragons' defence was very good. Glasgow have a lot of fecking huge players though.......
Oh yeah, the Ospreys could really have done with Glasgow losing that one. Annoying....

Gutting, but we didn't deserve to win. Pleased by the performance of many of our youngsters, but Glasgow were better organised in defence and sharper in attack.

How on earth did the TMO not spot that forward pass for the Glasgow try?
The standard of refereeing in the Pro12 is so bad that it's difficult not to question whether it is just pure incompetence.

You really do wonder what the point of the TMO is.Tre wrote:How on earth did the TMO not spot that forward pass for the Glasgow try?

No-one would blame a ref for missing that in open play. But when another ref is specifically asked to review the incident on video, and then calls that? Seriously, what are we doing?
Now, I've seen (even) worse TMO calls. But notwithstanding Glasgow meriting the win, this refereeing mistake decided the game.

What was the question asked to the TMO?

The disallowed try looked perfectly fine though.Tre wrote:How on earth did the TMO not spot that forward pass for the Glasgow try?
