Not going to click on a Telegraph link, but the premise is
clearly wrong as I do enjoy it, so it can't be impossible.
Obviously only rarely when it's Quins playing, but in general, I
enjoy it.

I would rather have technology involved to improve decisions,
and I don't mind repeated replays in search of the best angle
The issues are mainly with TMOs who see the clear and obvious
where it isn't, bunker officials who seem to apply different
standards to similar incidents and French TV producers who don't
make the most important angles available when it might
disadvantage a French team. The first two ought to be fixable..
the third? [Gallic shrug]

Is there a virus problem with Telegraph links then? I just
thought Pitbull was enjoyed by most on here?

The article is fairly decent. Headline is OTT but doubt he wrote
it. He often makes clear he doesn't write the headline. Thanks
for posting

Brian Moore says "Let us go back to only reviewing the act of
scoring, any act of foul play"
This idea was introduced for the 2025 Super rugby season and to
quote "TMO referrals driven by on-field team: TMOs will only
intervene unprompted if the on-field match officials have missed
a piece of serious foul play, or a clear and obvious
infringement leading to a try"
It made a significant difference watching a game Live. I read
somewhere there was a huge drop in both the number of TMO
reviews and the minutes the TMOs stopped the game.
Sometimes common sense and a small decision focusing on
supporters has a good outcome.

Just dislike them politically so don't want to give them
advertising clicks. I fully acknowledge their rugby coverage is
the best among the UK papers, and I'm not judging anyone else
who reads the paper. I am grateful for copy-pasted articles,
though.

Oh ok. Yes, the Torygraph's political coverage is laughable but
they do run a banging cryptic crossword!
