We watched Exeter v Bordeaux in the Stadium no ref link so I didn't get any explanation for the ref's decision.
Bordeaux kick forward and the ball was heading for touch about 10 metres from Exetr's goal line.
A Bordeaux player kicked it to stop it going in to touch but his other foot was on the touch line.
The ball then crossed the goal line where another Bordeaux player got the first hand to it in thr normal scramble.
The ref gave the try to our confusion. I thought if the ball is played by a player in touch then it is deemed in touch.
Did anyone see it on telly and get an explanation or does kicking it not count.
