Almost miraculously, the Blues won at the last minute, Saturday on Murrayfield against Scotland during the Six Nations Tournament (20-16).

At the very end of the game, a try was refused to the XV du Chardon.

Despite the assistance of video refereeing, it was impossible to determine whether the ball had been flattened.

Posolo Tuilagi said he had “his hand under the ball”.

The BBC indicated on Wednesday that World Rugby would not provide clarification regarding this action.

The French team, without convincing, therefore took advantage of this game (20-16 victory).

The Scottish federation (Scottish Rugby) contested this decision: “The dialogue between the referee and the video made no sense.

We must learn lessons from this so that this does not happen again.

It is not a question of Scottish Rugby being belligerent.

It would be good if there was a statement saying that after having time to think and review the video evidence, what happened was not okay.

World Rugy 'sticks to its position'

World Rugby's response is clear since the body has simply chosen to close the debate.

No investigation will be carried out, as the BBC stated: "World Rugby will stick to its position of not commenting publicly on specific decisions by officials."

The XV of France, after an inaugural defeat against Ireland in this Six Nations Tournament (17-38), is doing well.

The Blues' next match will take place this Sunday, February 25, against Italy.

Fourth in the standings after two days, France must deal with several absentees.

Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack are not participating in the Tournament this year, while Grégory Alldritt will be absent against the Transalpins.
