'By pressing down on it with a hand' - you don't think Anscombe did this? Looked to me like he did.

I suppose the other side of it is that it was only the Welsh, after. Sorry Mrs SW, just the way it is.

Obviously this wasn't the footage available on the day but it clearly shows contact with the hand.

You must have a strange definition of pressing down - that is what Watson did. Anscombe pushed the ball forward if anything. Bottom line is if there is no TMO no way a referee gives that as a try. As you say only the Welsh - and if we really want to analyse the officials on the look at the penalty count (10-2 in favour of Wales) despite their frequent infringements, including one ruck where a Welsh forward committed at least three offences and was deemed to have won the ball fairly.
