World Rugby says Garces was right

Following the controversial decision against England when Underhill seemed to score the winning try against New Zealand, World Rugby has said they stick by the Garces call.

The new TMO trial, introduced from this round of matches, hands the power back to the Referee to make the decision. Garces had first awarded the try and went back to consult the TMO. The try was overturned by Jonker, the South African TMO, in what was not seen by many as 'Compelling Evidence' when Lawes was seen to be offside as the ball was picked up.

World Rugby stated that there was compelling evidence that Garces was unable to see the screen at Twickenham clearly due to the adverse weather conditions, allowing Jonker to make the call.
