I GUARANTEE they did not huddle 6 umpires to decide where to put Jeter. These guys are Major League Umpires. I'm sure that they ALL knew the rule and where to put Jeter.

They huddled before making the decision. I don't know why it took all 6, but maybe they have decided that if 2 need to huddle to discuss a possible change, that all should, to get input from as many people as possible.

PS - I think the RFU likely had a decent view of the play as well.
