Explain to me why Nic Berry makes an instant decision on held up and doesn't actually get his head in there to see where the ball ends up? Unquestionably on the ground but then the TMO can't definitively see because of camera angle. On field team had best chance of seeing it.

Final Pool B permutations at #RWC2023 with Ireland v Scotland the only match that impacts quarter-final qualification. 4-0 or 5-0 win for Scotland puts them through (with SA). 5-1 win for Scotland - it's complicated... All other results put Ireland & South Africa through.

Transcription of the ref (Nic Berry) & TMO (Brian MacNeice) chat to end Scotland v France. One thing to confirm - the decision to rule no try was based on the ball being held up on a boot, which was conclusively established not to be the case during the TMO review.

TMO Protocol July 2022: 'The protocol aims to deal in the space commonly defined as "CLEAR & OBVIOUS". For clarity purposes, this is defined as an incident that is unlikely to be refereed in any other way' What ref would not consider that a try if they saw that view on field?

Gregor Townsend now has 10 wins against the sides from the old Five Nations (England, France, Ireland, Wales) and Tri Nations (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa). That's more than the 3 previous Scotland coaches combined (who had 23 more fixtures against those sides).

Adam Hastings beat 10 defenders for @Scotlandteam against Italy yesterday. He's just the 3rd player in any position to hit double figures for this stat in a match during the Gregor Townsend era. (the others are Hamish Watson v Wales 2019; and Sam Johnson v England 2019).

Interesting analysis: "Over the series, when the Lions have kicked a contestable with Van der Merwe as or in the kick-chase unit, the Springboks are 0/11 in the air."

Chris Harris will be aiming to become the first Scot to start a Test at centre for the Lions since Scott Hastings 32 years ago. He is the only player to feature in every one of Scotland’s last 19 games & is part of an elite group of Scottish players with a win % > 60%. #AsOne
