Technically Gagai lost his grip on the ball, but he'd regained sufficient downward pressure on it before it hit the ground. They need to view a full-speed replay instead of slow-mo to look for the one frame where the players' hand is separated from the ball, giving the impression of a bobble.

On top of that, I'm not convinced they bother to check it upstairs if it's a handful of other teams in the comp.

That's not the rule. He has to catch the ball again ... he didn't.

If they want to change the rule fine, but do it for the whole comp ... not just one team

As Bfoord said, that’s not the rule. It’s another case of people complaining about the bunker without knowing the rule (or those who do know it but choose to complain anyway).

As for the last part - EVERY try is reviewed.
