Grove-White stopped play during a pool match between Canada and France to award a penalty for a deliberate knock on.

However after consulting his assistant referee Grove-White admitted to the players that he made the wrong call and awarded a scrum.

Canada went on to win the pool match 31-21 and finished third overall after beating South Africa in the play-off.
