6N - Scotland v France

[game_film]

Need a split screen matched to frame

[game_film]

Just give a try when it’s that close ffs

[Jailbreak7]

Yikes who would be a TMO

[game_film]

Getting held up there is unforgivable though, unlucky as it is.

[Billy Tell]

That was a try imo but the initial call from berry saved the French.

[Jailbreak7]

Scotland bit hard done by there.

[sparky]

High drama at the end there. Unlucky call against Scotland when it was probably down, but no conclusive proof.

Why, o, why didn't the Scots spin it wide? They could have walked that one in.

Reffing is good - clear and concise and the TMO isn't getting in the way and/or wasting time. Pity this isn't a RWC game...

Apart from watching the Scotland ruck get walked over and Russell sliding along the ground pushing the ball back the whole time. Yeah ref that's called tackled player not releasing...

Oh, how I yearn for the days when the TMO could stop play and correct this sort of mistake by referees....

The Scots fans will be feeling absolutely filthy about that one at the end. Common sense suggests that was a try and if they was any benefit of the doubt given to the attacking team then that's a try.

Not convinced there was pressure on it once it bobbled to the ground. Regardless, Scotland needed to do better and their captain showing no interest other than pigging it up from the back of the breakdown didn't help.

Great defence by France.

Rugby is it's own worst enemy at times. The slow mo kick fest is annoying and the ref and tmo call at the end seemed wrong. Ultra dumb by Scotland in charging one off in that end of match situation though. Always the danger of held up or inconclusive.

[chchfanatic]

Rugby is dying a slow and painful death. Apart from the diehards. No one will be watching in 5 years.

I don't think Finn Russell's a captain's arse, but fuck me his kicking game is on another level.

Superb vision, if he had a tad more physical ability he'd probably be the best player in the world and a bit less of a knob jockey.

He’s basically Carlos Spencer without the rig

Scotland were fucking robbed. What a shithouse piece of TMO work. It was 100% clear the ball was grounded, they found the angle then “rock and rolled “ it and were both happy before the dodgy TMO changed his mind

Poor Scots, that was a disgrace

@voodoo nah, I didn't see a shot of the ball on the ground with pressure from the carrier.

[Catogrande]

@Bones @voodoo

I thought it was a try but also thought it couldn’t be given due to the ref’s wording. “Onfield decision no try, can you see conclusive evidence to say try scored” (paraphrased).

Try? More than likely.
Conclusive? No.

If the wording had been different it would likely have been awarded.
