A WISE man once said rugby league is a game of inches.

Well, in Origin II at ANZ Stadium, it came down to less than that.

As Queensland produced a classic left side play in the ninth minute, something which has provided the goods time and time again, a fleet-footed Valentine Holmes dived over in the corner and planted the ball down.

Referee Matt Cecchin was happy with the grounding, but wanted to look at the sideline camera angle.

As the bunker replayed Holmes flirting with the white stripe, footy fans immediately cast their minds back to Jarryd Hayne’s effort in game one 2009.

On that occasion, Hayne too, tiptoed down the sideline with the video referee eventually ruling ‘no try’.

But on Wednesday night, Holmes was given the green light.

So what did you think? Was the Holmes try ruling correct? Vote in the poll below:
