Big Grant Hattingh of the Bulls charges for the goal- line, as Brad Barrett of the Hurricanes covers in desperation.
Barrett does not tackle Hattingh, who has the ball in his right arm.
The big man then dives for the ground just in from the left corner post.
He has the ball in his right hand and stretches out his left hand to break the fall.
With three minutes to go, this could be the winning score.
The referee consults the TMO, whose advice is that the fingers of Hattingh's left hand had touched touch-in-goal at the same time as he had grounded the ball and so it should be no try …
