Wind very influential.

I must have been at a different A J Bell. No wind all game perfect day for rugby. We just catch catch or throw.

I must admit I watched on TV. However, why then did the commentators continually mention it?

I was in the low printerland stand. Maybe there was a breeze swirling at higher level but it seemed quite a still day

On the tv you could clearly see high kicks caught by the wind and conversions being pushed about

If someone did take over, it wasn't obvious.

Agreed. Although I thought he gave us a break by chalking off their try just before half time (correct decision but rarely given). I guess my point is that the reffing in the Prem is incredibly inconsistent, subjective and sometimes just unfathomable. So we know it can’t be replied in - you have to take it out of the equation by playing well. We didn’t do that and our game plan was plain wrong.

Apologies for sounding like a know all.
The live tv picture was narrow on the line out and the subsequent play. Despite that, I realised that 13 and 14 had arrived long before the line out was over or even called over, because of the limited tv width. . Such an easy decision for tmo

Yes, correct decision no doubt. You just don’t often see them given.

Didn’t we commit the same offence last week and got pinged?
