EDINBURGH: France have been certain that they had held up Scotland over their line with the ultimate play to finish a 20-16 Six Nations win at on Saturday, as captain Gregory Alldritt mentioned the officers made the proper determination to disclaim the house aspect a strive.
Scotland felt that they had compelled the ball down over the tryline, however Australian referee Nic Berry dominated they have been held up and the Irish Television Match Official Brian MacNeice mentioned he might discover no proof to overturn the choice.
Replays appeared to indicate the ball grounded on a French boot earlier than slipping to the turf and Scotland coach Gregor Townsend left seething by the choice at Mrrayfield.
“I think the images are quite clear and I don’t see how he (Berry) can make any other decision,” Alldritt advised reporters, earlier than revealing the group works tirelessly with defence coach Shaun Edwards to carry groups up over the tryline.
“We’ve been working for over three years to get the ball carrier behind the line, exactly like it was done,” he mentioned. “When we talk about details, that’s part of it. It’s nice to see it pay off.
“With Shaun, we spend hours there during the week. These are small satisfactions as a player. Of course, there are things to work on and review. But small details make you win the match.”
Alldritt went off after 50 minutes with what appeared a nasty gash on his leg, however says he may have no lasting unwell-results.
“I’m very good,” he mentioned. “The muscle is not affected. It’s just the skin that is opened but with a few stitches, we’re going to let it heal.”
He praised the best way his group mates bounced again from their disastrous 38-17 opening loss to Ireland in Marseille.
“It’s perhaps a bit stupid what I’m going to say, but it’s one of my greatest victories with the France team,” he mentioned. “We had a complicated week. We have really become closer. We wanted to do it for us, and we did it.”
