Unless we change the Laws as @GraemeS notes above, once the R allows the restart, it’s too late to go back. There are three o5er teammates of the ref on the field who should have stopped this. I guess I wouldn’t have a problem with VARs speaking up if a pan incorrect-in-law restart is about to happen, but they are so rare in doesn’t seem to me something worth changing the Laws for. And I don’t think the VAR, paying attention to primary duties, is in a better position than the ARs or 4O to see such an error in time to stop it.
