    Surely forward from Paressi?

    Given the match score I would have allowed it though.

    I don't think anyone would have cared had the ref given it but once it goes to the TMO it surely has to be disallowed or people are going to question the system

    Did the video replay conclusively determine the ball came off the winger's knee and not his hand?

    France score after 2 mins, great run from the French winger, but got to questions the poor attempt at tackles by the 3 Scots he ran past

    Very good win for Scotland, although France are absolute pony.

    Enjoyed that. Flicking between Newcastle v Man U, Ayr v Rangers and the rugby. Pleasant afternoon. Oh and Liverpool still to come. Good job Mrs SB is at work!

    Wouldn't he rather be at Murrayfield?

    No. He's Irish.

    Good! Because the single, brief replay I saw of that part didn't show a frame where there's daylight between the ball and his hand.

    You could look at that replay all day and still not be 100% sure if the TMO made the right call. But that's the point of the rules - if you're not sure, don't award the try. There was more or less no downward pressure from Anscombe whereas Watson definitely got a touchdown. Classless of Gatland to blast the TMO after the game with some pretty personal abuse.

    Now footage doing the rounds that shows it was actually a knock on from Stef Evans. Hopefully this works..

    I thought there was a Welsh knock on earlier on in the move myself at the time but discounted it as my imagination because none of the pundits subsequently mentioned it from what I saw.

    You're right, there was!

    I saw it at the time and couldn't understand why they didn't mention it

    Except the ball goes backwards off his hand into his knee which isn’t a knock on

    Case closed:

    World Rugby’s head of referees, Alain Rolland, rang Warren Gatland on Monday to say Anscombe’s try should have been awarded while the governing body also released a statement, acknowledging that: “In accordance with law 21.1 b Wales should have been awarded a try as the Wales player grounded the ball.”

    Did they get better footage than what the TMO had then? Because if we saw what the TMO saw there was no clear grounding from Anscombe.

    Never say it over Ireland score a try in extra time to secure the win.

    I thought Ireland were lucky in the end. A more ruthless Wales would have at least tied it up at the end, but a stupid pass did for them.
    And Sexton's kicking was very poor by his standards.

    Scotland, Wales and Ireland all find an extra gear when playing England.

    I'd give the Welsh some credit for their defence today rather than criticise Ireland too much.
