On the same hand, the TMO couldn't look at the VDM high tackle/offside because a try wasn't scored. Before the Scots weigh in with their defences on the matter, surely they would agree that in the spirit of the game it should have at least be looked at given the significance of it but didnt due to a technicality.
And in any big game these days, places like this and Reddit have both sets of supporters giving off about any number of decisions given/not given during a game.
Personally I'm really struggling with what the game has become. When I absolutely loved the sport, as a teenager from 2002-2010, grey areas were much more accepted, ref mistakes were not catastrophised as much (unless you were a Kiwi), and rugby just felt fun to watch.
I sympathise with how angry the Scots must be after yesterday, although supposedly Russell was offside for the hack through so where does the microscopic investigation start and end!?
Either way the Scots should have been well clear of that shite French side and all of this would not have mattered.We need to either accept a significant number of fuck ups by refs under the current rules, or simplify the rules to reduce the number of fuck ups.
