'Genuinely looks wide': Questions hang over Stormers match-winning conversion
The Stormers last gasp 17-15 win over Ulster in Cape Town has not come without controversy after Mannie Libbok's game-winning kick under question after inconclusive match footage.
Trailing 10-15 deep into extra time, the Stormers scored out through fullback Warrick Gelant in the 85th minute to tie up proceedings at 15-all.
With a pressure kick to win the game from out wide, Libbok's effort looked online to start and then began to fade high, over the post height making it difficult to judge whether or not it had gone through.
Multiple Ulster players can be seen asking from a TMO review of the kick to ensure it went through the posts while Stormers players were celebrating but no review was made, relying on the touch officials call.
Questions remained following the game whether the kick was successful or not, with some happy with the call and others not yet convinced the kick made it. With cameras available to confirm, fans were stunned it was not even looked at a second time.
Looks like it drifted wide on that angle. #STOvULS

The best angles of the kick are still rather inconclusive, with the ball seemingly heading over the right post.

Really interesting article.Canterbury and Crusaders lock Jamie Hannah, who debuted for the Crusaders before Canterbury , he is going places. Fellow Canterbury lock, who has debuted for the Crusaders in Europe, is big and athletic. His father Graham played in the NPC winning Canterbury side of 1997. His Uncle is former AB Chris Jack. Makos and Crusader no 8 Fletcher Anderson is developing fast with more experience. First-five James White did play well for Canterbury in the loss to Wellington. No harm in first-fives who can play fullback.
