And other sports

Love the video of the TMO in the Arg v Chi RWC game.

Ref clearly wanted to give that try but TMO is all 'nah, not happening' with clear audio and video of both TMO and ref.

UK VAR is ridiculously over engineered, and purely to give additional career opportunities to the refs it was meant to be overseeing.
