It's actually something I find interesting as I'd think in part we find the game pitting a sense of natural justice against some specifically prohibited actions to wrangle an outcome. So I'd look at the Priestland Vs Woodburn incident and conclude no try as Woodburn is off his feet, but penalty against Priestland because he too goes off his feet and I'd ping defence before attack. I'd then need to accept what something is doesn’t always equate twith how it looks to the officials, as for instance we saw with Billy being incorrectly pinged against Wales for playing a ball still in a ruck

To stop being semi-subtle then- I can't be bothered to engage with such long winded and convoluted statements about something relatively rare that is history, and where I agreed with the outcome, even if marginal on re-watch (that's long winded and convoluted but hey!). But that's just me!

Ah, then I'd suggest rather than telling me I'm digging a hole which to me invites inquiry as to how the law has and should function that you'd do better telling me I'm less interesting than Vogon poetry and should bugger off to a referee forum

Laydeees and gennnlemen... Innaaa the red corner, weighing in at 175 lb, winner of many bouts, the crafty old counterpuncher, getting on, but still light on his feet; the thinking man's pugilist; the prime exponent of less-is-more - Badboy Banquo.
Innaaa the blue corner, at 210 lb, the brash pretender, the out-and out slugger who's as heavy in the punch as he is in words; takes no prisoners, the powerful - Dirty Digby.
A fascinating contest - experience against strength; the bludgeon versus the rapier; the piano tuner against the piano mover; Fred Astaire versus Ed Balls.
We want a good clean contest, no low blows, come out fighting and may the best man win.

Ding!
