- Sam Skinner denied a winning try after inconclusive review
- TMO sticks with on-field decision that ball was held up
Finn Russell was one of tens of thousands of Scots in Murrayfield who felt Scotland had done enough to steal a last-gasp victory over France.
Scotland had led from the seventh minute until the 70th, but when Sam Skinner drove for the line with time up the referee’s on-field decision was that the ball had been held up. This put the onus on the television match official to find evidence to the contrary.
