The United Rugby Championship’s head of match officials has admitted on TV a crucial try which was controversially disallowed on the weekend should have stood.
And he's confirmed officials who show a continued track record of poor decision-making will be taken out of the firing line.
It looked as though Ulster were going to record a notable victory away to the Stormers when replacement prop Callum Reid forced his way over the line just two minutes from time in Cape Town, with Italian referee Gianluca Gnecchi initially awarding the try. But, as the conversion was being lined up, South African TMO Quinton Immelman then intervened, calling on Gnecchi to take another look at it, and after lengthy debate and numerous replays the score was ruled out for a knock-on by Reid.
