Jaminet with the winning try for France. 32-24 with kick to come. Three minutes to go.
No try. Ridiculous decision. French crowd not happy at all.
I'm not happy either, would be spitting if it was my team. FFS.

I like, to one degree or another, most of the pundits, although all have an annoying element but by fuck the Scots and Irish pundits do like to big up their own guys. . Case in point today, Andy Nichol: here comes the child-man. His musculature is incredible. WTF?

Cracking match

Firstly ,it was great to see the worlds best official Angus Gardiner in action , the way he managed the players in and around the breakdown was superb and also taking control of what looked like a nothing penalty and overturning it for some obstruction from Bundee Aki that was called by the AR.
On the game , always thought despite the Irish battling back to within a point , the French had the game in the bag..great breakdown work saw some superb counter rucking and fierce linespeed pressure on the Irish ball carriers saw handling errors ..
A really enjoyable watch. -

Totally the right call. Ref called held up in real time, TMO confirmed. Gardner was on song most of the match

I have only seen the highlights clip but Angus was possibly the only one with a decisive view. We needed a cam from behind at the right angle for that.
I don't think it was outrageous to call held up. The was a good chance that any evidence would be on the TMO replay.Although it is still possible that the ball touched the grass (some would say probable), there was no evidence.

The French forwards were impressive and won most of the collisions. They showed Foster what level of physicality is required to win a game against the top NH nations.
They were blowing out their arses in the last 20 min. Ireland with too many simple mistakes including, incredibly going for 3 points when 6 points down and 10 minutes to go.

Both sides were knackered, at least a good handful of the French had covid a couple of weeks ago too

fair. I didn't have audio on - but if so, maybe the TMO is correct.
That said, I'd be gobsmacked if some part of that ball didn't touch some grass. Maul tries get awarded without sighting - what's different here? Still, Gardner made the call

The wrong call IMO. The only arm under the ball was the attacker's. The TMO was then looking for irrefutable proof the ball itself touched the grass which wasn't conclusive. The call should've been try, possibly held up.
