The pictures are in this thread a few pages back. For mine it was the correct call all round. Inglis forced the ball backwards into the ground, Hall brushed it but had no downward pressure. He didnt even know he touched it, and nobody in his team celebrated a try. They went back for the line dropout. Then replays showed he might have grounded it and suddenly theyre claiming it was a try. If he thought he had even possibly touched it, he would have gotten up celebrating a try. How much pressure could he have possibly had if he didnt even try to sell a try?
Thevsame argument that says Hall grounded iy, can be used to say Inglis did. As for his intent in grounding it, he can eadily say he tried to. Regardless of how it looks, his intention was obviously makung the ball dead and he could have been hedging his bets in grounding and pushing it dead, hence doing both poorly. Not that I think he was doing that, but single frames can be used to prove that and give enough doubt to stick with onfield decision.
Not that it matters now. Everyone has seen all the same evidence and made up their own minds. Plus the decision cant be overturned now even if it was wrong. Samoa have been f**ked harder then any team so far. They could have had two wins with a few calls. I think thst Samoa and NZ are more deserving of being in the finals then the Poms or Aussies. Playing with much more heart and passion. Higher quality stuff too.
