"The TMO, now, is riding side-saddle with the ref, and getting involved in everything. "The only thing I would say - and I'm conscious I'm sat next to an Irishman, and we've just talked about how brilliant they were - they still needed an element of luck. "Rieko Ioane's pass to Akira Ioane was about as good a pop ball - he drops off after he gets it, hits, drops off, exaggerates the look - as you'll see. Akira walks in. Both the referee and touch judges said, 'Show me something clear and obvious'. There was nothing clear and obvious. "On the 38th camera angle, which wasn't level [with play], the TMO's come in and said, 'Nah, you're all wrong. It's clearly forward'."Greenwood contests that 'we've invited V.A.R into our world and it's not quite been managed properly'. [caption id="attachment_241111" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

Seán O'Brien brought up another try-scoring moment that got multiple viewings after a long TMO intervention - the Louis Rees-Zammit score against Fiji, which was eventually allowed to stand.
"Whether [Ioane's pass] was forward or not," he said, "it was a great piece of play. Like Rees-Zammit's try at the weekend, were they checking if there was separation. Don't even have a look at that. It was an unbelievable thing that he did. It's a try. Let it go."
Will Greenwood's book, World Class: How to Lead, Learn and Grow like a Champion, is out now.
