What an outstanding decision by the match officials!!! There is NO place for this in sport. Many will say it is easier with a video referee / TMO. Yes - I fully agree. It is VERY difficult to make such calls without TJ’s/ ARs and technology. Credit - sky sports @BBCSport

The officials were spot on and totally correct in law. You cannot jump to avoid a tackle or jump into a tackle. This was clarified by World Rugby. In the act of scoring you can dive and we have seen some wonderful tries from this. Screenshot WRU TikTok

What a depressing first half! Innovation in attack from Italy…. Their secret weapon @ITVRugby is @RichardHodges12 in the coaching staff! Another well blessed coach lost to Welsh Rugby full of knowledge! @rossharries1

Back in the day there would be good old ‘blood and thunder’! Pushing and shoving in the modern game seems pretty pointless! A sign of how professional the game is and well regulated by TMO, Match Officials with cameras everywhere! @SkySportsRugby @talkSPORT
