In a controversial Six Nations (GuinnessM6N) match, Scotland's last-minute try against France was denied by the Television Match Official (TMO), sparking widespread debate and calls for clarification from World Rugby. The decision, described as one of the toughest for a TMO and leading to Scotland being 'absolutely robbed', prevented Scotland from securing a win against France, adding to their history of near misses in the tournament. Scottish Rugby has formally requested World Rugby to acknowledge an 'incorrect' TMO call in the game-defining decision. Despite the outcry and the belief by many, including Scotland's co-captain and commentators, that the ball was placed on the try-line, World Rugby has announced it has 'no plans to explain' or review the controversial call.
