I'm pretty certain it should have been. Also the restart he took back to a scrum was wrong and he didn't play offside all night. And the number if times you heard him issuing an instruction at a breakdown three or more times without giving the penalty. And he didn't act on players backchat / appealing. And he didn't yellow the Scarlets boy at the end. That's just off the top of my head, pretty sure there were more. He's incompetent.
The Gray non-try was marginal but I think the decision was correct in the end. It was incredibly tight but the ball had not clearly and obviously touched the line before Gray made contact with it.
All the other stuff you point out about Lacey, I completely agree with.
I think that was partly what annoyed me, he took one look from one angle on something marginal.
