So was it a try or not?

As an old prop I'm a little confused!

Many times whilst trying to play the game hindered by a excessive body weight I failed to get back behind the ball only for the ball to make its merry way back to me, time and time again many different Refs have said I'm offside, yet in a International it was deemed onside?

Yes it was a try. haven't you read the papers ? It say Wales won with tries from GARETH DAVIES, Jamie Roberts and George North.

Now moving on.....

Of course it was not a try. Cueto's foot was in touch!

Move on.

Rule 19.2d of the IRB regulations makes it very clear, stating: 'For a quick throw-in, the player must use the ball that went into touch.

A quick throw in is not permitted if another person has touched the ball apart from the player throwing it in and an opponent who carried it into touch.

In this case a different ball was thrown to Rees by a ball boy, which broke the rule twice.

Wasn't

(actually, I think his foot did touch the line before he lifted it, but it was a pretty tight call)

Yes - had the pitch been wider it would have been a good finish
