the rule is intention, not advantage; if it was supposed to be advantage it should be written that way
the 'spirit of the game' argument holds no weight - how many times have you heard 'the ref has no option other than to...' etc rules are rules, you cant just make them up
it was the wrong call :p
It's not about making up rules, it's about neglecting the rules that are in the book which make no sense.
Have you taken a look at the rules they add to there? They make no sense whatsoever so I applaud a ref who neglects the rulebook and goes by gutfeeling and intuition.
It might have been a wrong call when it comes to the rulebook, but it's a right call for the game.
