This is kind of interesting, I think the TMO got disallowing that Wallaby try wrong, but Owens was convinced that the try was good but eventually just went with the TMO's decision because he was adamant.

Then at the end of the game the ABs score a try after a forward pass that the TMO is unsure of and Owens overrules him and disallows that try as well.

I assume that the buck stops with Owens and that he can overrule the TMO.

Entertaining game nonetheless, I have to make it to one of these one day.

Now who is to say what would have happened had that Aussie try stood, but it likely would have put them ahead 17-15 and the ABs kind of stumbled out of the gates in the second half.

But thats the thing about the ABs, they just need one play and then all the gears synch up and they steamroll you.

They pulled Beau Barrett off really early because he just wasnt clicking, it wasnt his day. Thats their depth. They can pull off the guy that has arguably been their MVP and just go without him.
