Perhaps at this level the coach of each team could be entitled to a limited number of challenges (say 1 per half) of the ref's descion based on the TV coverage. An appeal to the TV ref like for tries.
Just watching the South Africa/Fiji replay and flabbergasted by the number of undetected South African forward passes. But from the arm chair perspective these overhead camera views give us a point-of-view not enjoyed by refs or linesmen. Even in Rugby League the TMO cannot rule on forward passes. BUT, they can review "knock-ons, offsides, obstructions, hold-ups and whether or not a player has gone dead" (wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_referee). If we're gonna have a TMO in Rugby Union, should we not work them a bit more? Or are we in danger of turning our beloved "chasing the pig bladder around a paddock" into some kind of interactive bio-electronic playstation-like experience?

Hey, a France - Argentina final would have a certain symmetry to it - first and last game of the tournament.
yes I agree, although the French loss to Argentina could be what made it possible for France to beat the AB's. The difference is that France had their slaughtering early on in the tournament, the NZ "sudden death" lesson happened too late.
Does anyone know if the Referee Judicial Board publish results of their investigations into sub-standard reffing at RWC? Or is it strictly in-house stuff?

Rob Stowell says... "No labelling to speak of- and so far, two or three of the films I most wanted are nowhere to be found. BUT- some distinct oddities. There's a Stuart Page reel that looks like a series of camera exercises: pan, tilt, etc- amusingly done, but most entertaing is the "model"- a youthful Ronnie van Hoot. "
Hey I'd like to see that footage myself, I can't even remember shooting it, but it could have been when Ronnie was helping out on the PROJECT 3D show I was doing– he made some home-made holograms of a coke bottle. Perhaps those "camera tests" were experiments at 3D cinema? Did you put them on YouTube yet? I suspect that even though there's mag stripe on the film, it's probably mute in that case anyway.
