I do. Russell penalised TV for a perfectly legit tackle into touch seconds before the whole mess.
Ah, but
that wasn't the worst bit.
The worst bit was that, in that very week, an edict had been publicized by the referees reminding players/clubs that before a penalty could be taken, all players must be onside, and that if they were not, their team would in turn be penalized.
Yet in this case, 2 Saints players were many yards offside, yet Smith ignored the ruling and let play go on.
