It's more of a case of the referee *_actually_* asking the player's opinion - that doesn't happen as often as perhaps it should. Kudos to the player for answering honestly.
@@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart The commentator is Austin Healey who played in 51 tests for England. What he's saying is obviously stupid, but he undeniably is (was) a rugby player
I've been a ref and I would not let the team go quickly as that wouldn't be in the spirit of the game especially when the player said straight away the ref is the only one that's incharge.By the way well done player how much time would not be wasted if this happened all the time and hold our sport up in a good light
Only ever playing at a low levels I was lucky enough to see a lot of this up to appeals against red cards by opposing teams . Moments that make the game truly grate
On-field ref's decision is no try so the player hasn't got anything to lose by owning up to it. If the on-field decision was a try then the player would have known that going to the TMO was in his interest just to see whether there was compelling evidence to over-turn it.
What are you talking about? The ref literally says "I think you were held up, do I need to check?" If the player had said "I got it down", it would have gone to TMO and there would have to be evidence to overturn it. Stop making it sound like the ref was going to give the try until the player admitted it
Can anyone imagine a saracens player being that honest..... the culture at chiefs is one to be proud of. I count them as national champs all those years of salary cap cheating
The ref literally said, It's been held up. I'm gonna check it (on the TMO), if you say you scored. No point then to say anything other than yeah it was held up. Unless you didn't know and believed you got it down... He seems to have known it was held up.
You must realise how boring these comments are? What about Paulo di Canio catching the ball as the keeper was down injured? What about the chap popping blood capsules in his mouth? Every sport will have examples of good honesty and bad honesty, people like you need to just enjoy rugby for rugby and stop moaning about other sports.
Doesn't it demonstrate the drop in quality of UK media when the TV "pundit" (Austin Healey?) actually *questions* whether the honest player should have done what he did? Embarrassing for the TV company.
I dunno the context, but I can see a player doing that if they've got a strong scrum. You don't want to wait several minutes and lose the momentum - put the other side under pressure right away!
I wonder if the player would've been such honnest if the refereee have had the field decision as try (sorry for the english, these times are pretty hard :P)
I think a goal line drop out is a poor reward for holding up the attacking team in goal. It should be a 22, and that will get teams in attack to be more creative than doing pick and go moves over and over ad naseum.

Brilliant from the Exeter players, pure class.
Trust Austin Healy to go straight to the negative side of someone doing something good.
Haha you're so right. As the video faded with him jabbering on that's all I was thinking
He thinks everyone is as much of a shit as he is
The Leicester lip....the tithead just can't help himself.

"you won't get players doing that anymore" as a player has literally done it
That’s code for I’m a presenter not a rugby player so I’m giving my own opinion 😑 honestly if we can’t play sports fair then what’s the point?

Creating the culture is down to each player making this constant decision. Great lead by Sean here.
Massive respect. From a Leinster Rugby fan 👏👏

In a word: sportsmanship.
Only ever playing at a low levels I was lucky enough to see a lot of this up to appeals against red cards by opposing teams . Moments that make the game truly grate
And that’s the difference between football and rugby 🌹🏉🌹 pure honesty and a gentleman
that and when he fell, he didnt continue rolling 15m sideways holding his shin.
That was Amazing!! I wish the football world would learn something from Rugby 🏉!!!!
Great stuff!!
Great sportsmanship.
The next couple of times he's in that position again, the player will be saying "got that one down, ref" :)
HONOURABLE CLASS!!

A premiership footballer telling the ref the ball hit his hand......I don't think so.🤔 There's the difference.
What are you talking about?
The ref literally says "I think you were held up, do I need to check?"
If the player had said "I got it down", it would have gone to TMO and there would have to be evidence to overturn it.

Wouldn’t get that type of honesty in football.
Except for the times that you do.
No, but you would get a hell of a lot more people watching it. It’s a different sport, get over it.
@@mdcsdm get over what?
Just pointing out you’re talking crap.
Calm down hunny.
@@danadamski3402 I’m reply to the original comment pal, rugby fans have a chip on their shoulder about football.
@@mdcsdm apologies man. Sorry.

Class……respect🇦🇺
CLASS!!!!
Superb sportsmanship - what a disgrace Austin Healy is, imagine that being your first thought. Says so much about him as a person.
You wouldn't get close to a sniff of honesty in football

@@mdcsdm rugby is superior anyway, played by real players
@@n4s98just enjoy watching a sport you love, why worry about other sports? Just enjoy your life mate
@@mdcsdm I am, knowing what's the best sport on the planet
'You wont get players doing that anymore' - did he think he was watching something from the past? It literally just happened

Yes, that's Austin Healey showing himself to be the cynic.
I would like to have him barred from the old scrum halves club!
Last minute of the game too
I dunno the context, but I can see a player doing that if they've got a strong scrum. You don't want to wait several minutes and lose the momentum - put the other side under pressure right away!
Goal line drop out now not 5 metre scrum, watch the end of the clip
Fortunately not all of us are like you healy.
be interesting to know if his employer feels the same way?
I wonder if the player would've been such honnest if the refereee have had the field decision as try (sorry for the english, these times are pretty hard :P)
Get this ref doing footy games please
I think a goal line drop out is a poor reward for holding up the attacking team in goal. It should be a 22, and that will get teams in attack to be more creative than doing pick and go moves over and over ad naseum.
Well from only last season, it used to be a scrum for the attacking team so at least it’s better than that!
