I'd have more chance having a pooh in the Queen's handbag, than that "try" being allowed by the video ref.

An Aussie team being knocked out of the comp (assuming the conversion would be successful) with a debatable try, before all their group games being completed. NOT A CHANCE. He was NEVER giving that try

I think all 3 of the boxes were ticked by Hall

What it doesn't say is
Celebratory attitude
That is what the Aussies are using as a justification

that celebratory thing was a joke. I've seen players this year in the NRL celebrate "tries" that have been both short of the line and knocked on and all done with a foot in touch. If Refs are swayed by the quality of celebration we are in a pretty poor place....
