I don't mind lattitude being given to the markers because it helps design what its stopped to do and that is discourage dummy half running which is a good thing.
Totally agree. Penalties for piddling offences often change the result of a match. Let it flow as much as possible.
While not defending the refs on Monday night, I applaud one instance when Choc was partly tackled and then got up and ran again. The ref used his common sense and instructed Choc to retreat a few paces and play the ball.
Other refs would have penalised him.
