Murrayfield was on its feet at the end, cheering for the outcome they so desperately wanted. Alas, it was the television match official they were trying to inspire. Trailing by four with time up, Scotland thought Sam Skinner had driven over for the try that would have brought victory.
But the referee, Nic Berry, had decided on the field that the ball was held up. Over to the TMO to find evidence otherwise. Had the on-field decision been positive, there was no evidence of the ball being held up, but neither was there conclusive proof of a grounding, no matter how much the stadium howled.
