The back row did not seem convinced that he had grounded the ball over the try-line, and a review of the score after the try had been awarded showed a clear separation between Underhill’s hand and the ball.
The Bath man was then immediately withdrawn from the action, as he sustained an injury in the action over the try-line. Chandler Cunningham-South took his place with no interference from the TMO. Japan fans and the neutrals would have been frustrated from that decision.
Fan reactions poured in online:
“Where’s the TMO? Underhill dropped that. No try.”
“And the Underhill try, he dropped the ball. Is the TMO on the piss instead?”
“That's a shocker of a miss from the TMO. Underhill had separation there. No try.”
