t hasn't got to be 100% sure any more, Block. The ref (in the bunker) just has to think a try would have been scored more likely than not.

Not commenting on whether a fair call or not (listening on radio) but 100% sure for a penalty try is and was always ridiculous. You can never be 100% sure it would be scored (think SKD). As long as 50/50 or more then I'm fine with penalty try being given. Otherwise you just incentivise illegal play...

Penalty try is certainly a dubious call but are you seriously suggesting that Edrick didn’t deserve to go to the bin?

He should've been in the bin yes but you got an easy 6 points out of it when you were under the pump big time then immediately blew it.

100% sure is a bit of a myth. It just had to be beyond reasonable doubt essentially

It was about 5% sure this time though
