Over on X – formerly Twitter – reactions were rolling in for the words of Finn Russell post-match, who said of the big call (or rather the match officials opting to honour the original on-field call of ‘no try’ with what they deemed a lack of compelling video evidence to show a clear grounding). Th Scotland co-captain said: “France came out on the winning side tonight, but for me that was a try at the end. That’s not for me to decide, that’s up to the referee.”
Well it didn’t stop us all wading in, did it…
What was said about controversial end to Scotland versus France
The Tweets, they rolled in…
This was punchy stuff from professional prop Nick Auterac, who posted: “A half blind dog riddled with rabies watching tv in black and white could see that was a try. Delusional and daft.”
How has that been allowed to be the call to end the game! A 1/2 blind dog riddled with rabies watching tv in black and white could see that was a try. Dillusional and daft. Heart goes to the Scotland players.
Scotland rugby totally robbed.. that is a try clearly the ball is on the ground.. so hard on Scotland . What’s the ref thinking of and the guys upstairs 🏉🏴🥲🥲🥲
If anyone is ever going to say “there is something wrong with rugby” or “something is killing the game of rugby”, it is Scotland’s try being disallowed against France today at Murrayfield in the #SixNations2024. If you cannot award a try there, the rules are wrong.#SCOvFRA
So what did you make of the controversial end to Scotland versus France?
Let’s be honest, it’s great to have something to debate in the pub… Or on social media. And with the process, when TMO’s cannot find conclusive video evidence, we are bound by what the initial call is.
