The panel ruled
The panel backed the referee.
on-field call upheld
4-11 of 5 panellists disagreed
“The Referee's call of no penalty for a potential handball offence against Robinson was supported, 4:1. The ball comes off his head before making contact with his arm as he is stooping to clear. One panellist felt that the movement of Robinson's right arm was deliberate and a penalty should have been awarded.”
