Re: Let the diving and blindness begin
i think we should separate the football from the rugby when it comes to replays, because rugby is, by its very nature, more of a stop-start affair; and as you say, it's more about fine, technical issues around tries, rather than split-second decisions.

my fear about having tv decisions around diving in the box is that refs would become like cricket umpires, who are so undermined by replay technology (and that's about to get worse) that they even refer blatant decisions to the 3rd umpire just in case they've somehow missed something. so we could have the match stopping every time somebody went down in the box. and then there'd be calls to extend it outside the box, of course, because diving is diving wherever it's done, so matches could end up lasting for hours!
