Just a quick question, which may have been well covered elsewhere (links appreciated) but for Watmough's second try, when Williams kicked for Stewart in the build-up (lovely kick if he meant it by the way) was Stewart offside? Not asking in the interests of feling hard done by, just the angles on the footage I have seen were pretty inconclusive, and my curiosity needs satisfying.

Yes he was, well that's assuming the 'cutting lines' in the grass are parallel to the try line. I checked it a couple of times myself.

On first viewing it certainly looked so as he seemed to come from nowhere, second time around I wasn't so sure.

I didnt think he was offside but it was a tough one to call.

When i looked i thought he was level!

Called it Offside in real time ..on replay looked level





Isnt level offside. I thought the rulling was "behind" the kicker.

Yes but you said he looked offside!!

I apologise, teach me from misreading and being on here in my lunch break.



When I said yes, I meant yes he was on ONside.



As I said earlier it's clear if you use the grass cutting lines as a guide.

No probs mate i re-read it after your post

Well done on quoting Lenny before he deleted another major gaffe.





Makes a change from him editing his posts just after someone has quoted him I suppose.



Oh, too late

I thought the cameras justified the Refs decision to allow play to continue.



Not offside.



Watmough's 1st try was marginally forward though

Correct on both scores I would have said.
