Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3604302, member: 1769"] Annesley has said that the bunker got the obstruction call on the Manu try wrong. he said that they do have some discretion to determine if a defender would have been able to stop a try being scored [B]Annesley said[/B] “Last week I supported two obstruction rulings by the Bunker,’’ Annesley said. “I talked about the need for the lead runner to continue through the defensive line, and for the play not to be turned back through the gap created by a collision with a defender. “Neither of these factors were present in last night’s decision (for the Manu no-try). “In the circumstances, the Bunker does have discretion to consider whether a defender could have prevented the try. “In my opinion, the try would have been scored regardless and the on-field decision should not have been overturned”.
