The thing that I found odd last night was that when the ref doesn't call for the video the replay still plays for the fans. That disallowed Fiji try was fine until the fans all saw the third replay and groaned, at which point the ref changed his mind. Daft really since as you say they generally use it all the time, so no idea why he didn't immediately in those circumstances.

The problem comes when the TMO is relied upon for every little decision. The sport is slowed down enough by scrums. 

It means decisions are correct...

Also, the only other comparable sport is NFL in terms of high impact bursts of play, and they break every few seconds. You probably need to factor in some natural moments of respite for these players to even allow them to get through an 80 minute game.

Haha! Brilliant!

Could of kicked a penalty in stoppage time for a draw. Took the scrum and scored a try to win the biggest upset in RWC history.
