Commentators see what the ref 'sees', after being instructed by the TV bosses to never contradict the ref. For example, if the ref says it wasn't forward, the commentators will say 'That was just about a flat pass,' or some such nonsense.
You need to watch more rugby Nelly, the endless replaying of supposed "incidents" and questioning of the referee is getting tedious IMO

Last I looked trying to regather a ball that you have knocked on you had no right to be touching and running into a static defender wasn't a red, but hey ho, bad decisions happen.

I watched the whole game quite closely. I did not see it neither did the Ref, ARef and the TMO.
Views of others on this?
It was Genge on Furlong just over halfway through the first half. It should have been a red. At speed, shoulder directly to head, no attempt to bind.

I can sort of see why the commentators are overlooking so much, and why the TV execs don't replay. Money. And they don't want to discourage the refs. Let's face it, we have all played in games where the ref has made some howlers, but its the game.
EDIT: The video was taken down.
