TMOs

Television Match Officials

While watching some of the excellent Heineken Cup rugby games at the weekend, there were more and more tries being referred to the video ref (now the TMO...).  It became very cear that "obvious" tries were actually anything but, and some that you were convinced there was no way the person could have scored were in fact fair.  Some, however, took 7 or 8 replays from different angles and were still far from conclusive either way whether someone had touched down legally or not.

I find it very interesting to see just how your immediate gut reaction can be proved exactly wrong by TV.  It just means that the jury is still out on such replays.
