• ‘We don’t seem to see eye to eye with Romain’
• Full-back is a doubt for Scotland’s trip to Paris
Greig Laidlaw will not be happy if Romain Poite takes charge of the World Cup match against Ireland in Yokohama in September after the Scotland captain said the referee “does not seem to like us” minutes after the defeat by Ireland at Murrayfield.
Scotland were upset Poite did not award them a penalty for a late challenge on Stuart Hogg by Peter O’Mahony and Rory Best, which left the full-back with an injured shoulder that forced him off after 16 minutes. Ireland, meanwhile, felt their fly-half Johnny Sexton, who failed a head injury assessment, was singled out for treatment.
