Picked up off the Tigers board:

From 1st July

“in the event of a try, should the footage relating to an infringement only be made available by the broadcaster after the conversion has taken place, but before the restart, then the referee and TMO may highlight the infringement and deal with it accordingly.”

I presume as a result of French TV directors not showing all the camera angles to the TMO in the event of an offence by the French team. However, they will now either not show it at all or just wait to the restart is done. Don't see how this will help at all....

Would rather the TMO has free access to all the camera feeds without the TV directors influence on what they can'/can't see.

It depends what control the TMO has, does he have a video analyst with him going back over the feed. Someone who can rewind, slow it etc or does he have to a make a request from the broadcast team at the ground? Sounds like it's the broadcast team at the ground.

Should always have been this.
