Frustrations for Scottish fans at Edinburgh as officials denied a match-winning score in the final play that handed the home side a 20-16 defeat to France in six Nations.
Scottish second-rower Sam Skinner drove over the line and looked to have scored, although he initially placed the ball on the leg of French Yoram Moefana.
Referee Nic Berry initially deemed the ball to be held up and called upon his TMO to review the decision.
Berry's decision was ‘no try’ meaning that there needed to be conclusive evidence that the try was scored, which ultimately the TMO was unable to provide.
The replays initially showed the ball to be held up on Moefana’s boot, only to then appear to slide and be grounded.
The decision sparked outrage from Scottish fans, while many sympathised with the match officials.
Scotland will take on England at Murray Field on the 24th of February at 4.45am.
