Quote Chris71="Chris71"I’d say 30secs max for the captains challenge as if it isn’t clear & obvious then refs call stands.
Also pretty much the same with try’s, should take no longer than a minute, again if it isn’t clear and obvious then refs call stands.
As last night was just painful and detracts from the game.'"
One of the problems last night, I thought, was that Thaler and the replay operator seemed to be on a different wavelength every time they went to the screen. Thaler would be asking for one angle and the opposite would appear. Every decision seemed to go through this tortuous process, and when they did finally arrive at the best angle Thaler then proceeded to view it around half a dozen times! Every video call was taking 2-3 minutes at a time.
I was amazed at what time it was when the game ended, well after 10pm, more two hours after kick-off. It will feel even longer still when sat inside a cold stadium! The process needs speeding up or half the crowd will fall asleep through boredom!
