Austin Healey wants pink balls!

Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.

Sensible stuff from Oz - especially the real-time decision making. At least the decision from an unresolved slow-mo should be 'he was holding the ball, he is lying over the line, it's a try' - otherwise we have the rubbish situation we have now where all the defenders dive around the sides to prevent a camera view, knowing a try may not be awarded.

A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Whatever the colour of the ball, you can't see through flesh and bone. Oz makes some good points but offers no solution forward, just another move side ways as far as the ball colour goes.

What is the point of replaying a tackle in slow-mo anyway? it is unrealsitic as far as the timing of the tackle is concerned, and exaggerates the impact and aftermath.

Less referrals to the TMO I say, and start showing more back bone, it works in the Championship and regions.

Beware what you wish for.

BTW since reading that UKIP's leader has been funded by the owners of the Tgraph perhaps it should be renamed.

Probably to go with those ghastly pink shirts he's started to wear, or maybe he's secretly signed for Stadt Francais because of their Ghastly away strip!!!
Or perhaps I'm wrong, oh yes Austin what's that oh the shirts are Salmon not pink, sorry my mistake.
