The contentious TMO decision which denied the Crusaders victory over the Stormers in Cape Town last Sunday (NZT) was indeed wrong. 

It does not make it any easier for the Crusaders to swallow, but Sanzaar has confirmed to the franchise that South African Marius Jonker wrongly rubbed out what would have been a superb match-winning try by Sevu Reece. 

Jonker, who stepped in and ruled Braydon Ennor's pass to Reece was forward after referee Nic Berry awarded the try, is not working as a match official this weekend. 

"It's a momentum game. Look, they [Sanzaar] just cleared up that the ruling was wrong," Crusaders coach Scott Robertson said of the call late in the 19-19 draw with the Stormers. 

"We got clarity of the understanding of the rule, if it's backwards out of the hand, the pass is going backwards. Obviously, momentum is a big part of why it looked forward but it isn't forward. 

"It would be a pretty tough game of rugby [if you had] to stand still and pass backwards."

Had Reece's 75th minute chip-and-chase try stood, the Crusaders would have led 24-16 (before the conversion attempt) and all but had a bonus point (four tries to one) win in the bag. 

Instead, the Stormers earned a penalty from the resulting scrum and launched the raid which led to the match-levelling penalty, kicked after the final hooter. 

Jonker, who will be a TMO at the World Cup later this year, had clearly made up his mind before communicating with Berry and putting the pass in question on the big screen at Newlands. 

"I'm going to show you a forward pass," he tells Berry.

After a couple of replays - both from the same view - were shown, Jonker said: "So, we have a forward pass, it's clear and obvious evidence of a forward pass."

Sanzaar's definition of a forward pass is as follows: When a player throws or passes the ball forward i.e. if the arms of the player passing the ball move forward.

As Sanzaar's confirmation to the Crusaders the decision was incorrect confirms, Ennor's hands were going backwards when he fired the pass wide to Reece.

The Crusaders had to settle for two competition points from the match, leaving them nine points clear of the Hurricanes at the top of the New Zealand conference with three games to play.

Ek dink nog steeds dis belaglik dat hy (Jonker) so call so erg verkeerd kan kry, ek het dadelik gesien die pass was agtertoe en was verstom dat die drie omgekeer is. Net op grond hiervan behoort Jonker nie Wereldbeker toe te gaan nie, want hy het gedemonstreer dat hy nie weet wat 'n vorentoe aangee is nie.

'n Hele paar jaar terug het hy ons ook 'n wedstryd gekos teen die Waratahs toe hy nog geblaas het, waar hy ook 'n vorentoe aangee geroep het waarmee omtrent niemand saamgestem het nie

Ek onthou daai game. Ek dink dit was nog Baywatch wat in die hoek gescore het, as ek reg onthou.
