Yes I noticed he did that too. trouble is, i can't find anything in the rules about it. It seems if he rules a player did go into touch then he MUST immediately raise his flag and that's it, the ref cannot overrule him. But he didn't raise his flag. So I presume he had a doubt. Which Cobb ignored. Bad though Cobb was, if the touchie is NOT saying Paddy stepped into touch, and there's no VR option, what else can he do but award a try?

The convent is (according to Refs course ) is; on deadline if try is good, stand on corner flag if unsure, stand two yards down the sideline if an offence has been spotted.

Wow just seen Ah Vans second try. Not even a close decision! Touch judge stood his ground, but should he have put his flag up? Even then as he has stood his ground Cobb should have consulted him.
