Ali Leiataua is ruled to have knocked on the ball after a challenge, stopping a Warriors attack, according to reports across multiple outlets.
The match incident is described consistently: during play, officials determine that Leiataua’s action with his thumb results in a knock-on call. As a result, possession changes away from the Warriors’ momentum at that moment.
The coverage focuses narrowly on the ruling itself rather than wider match narrative. While each source reports the same core event and outcome, they present it succinctly as the key turning point associated with the Warriors’ charge being brought to a halt by the referee’s decision.
