Now on reflection and after getting over the initial disbelief that the Harrison try was given a few things still bother me about the game:
VR decisions are far too frequent and take far too long. Originally introduced to clarify try / no try issues they are now used whenever the Ref is apparently not 100% - despite often being the closest to the action and having a linesman and in goal touch judge to call upon for verification.
I appreciate that the game is now very fast but you could apply that argument to all other decisions that are made in open play. The ref often has to use discretion for other decisions such as knock on vs. ball stripped issues so I would rather see the refs also decide on tries - unless there is clear doubt in his mind - sometimes tries may be incorrectly awarded as a result but that I could except as honest mistakes when they happened. VR has it's place but must be limited - no system is fool proof and no decisions will be right 100% of the time.
We now see Refs refer decisions such as re-starts to the VR - just get the decision made between the 5 on field judges and get on with it!
Also what is going on with conversions - we need to extend the game duration or decide that the clock stops immediately a try is scored. I am fed up with watching the kicker take a long drink, pull his socks up, adjust his under garments, and then call for the kicking tee. Several ball placements later and a good old hokey cokey dance around you get to see him kick for goal. In between all this the Ref tries to start a Mexican wave by raising both arms in the air only for this to be totally ignored by the crowd as most have retired for a cup of tea by then.
Same as for in goal drop outs - these really are quite theatrical - the defending team suddenly all become blind as to where the ball is - mill around apparently trying to decide where it is - then who should be the one to actually kick it (as if they don't know) - then make several unsuccessful attempts to get the ball to that player - then the kicker eventually ambles under the posts to kick off. Same could be said for kick offs just with the added joy of the additional wait while the kicking tee is located.
All of the above is destroying the game and spectacle - bad enough at the game - but even more tedious when you see it on TV - any new viewer must get bored very quickly - or otherwise have a warped view of the apparent slowness of the game. We sometimes make American Football look quicker - at least they openly change their defensive/attacking/kicking teams!
Or perhaps I am getting old and inpatient - probably!
