Tryyyy France, No 7, Charles Ollivon!
TMO
Should be no try
Should not be awarded, there was an earlier knock…
Grrrr, the TMO says it never touched the blue hand… clearly a wrong decision.
Try stands.
France 17 / 0 England
Gave the try, Olivon jumped up and the ball came off him onto Lawes who was competing as well and then went loose with France pouncing on the possession, hard to see it didn;t go forward off Olivon unless they could tell from the camera angle that Lawes wasn’t in front of Olivon. So if not were they facing the touchline so the ball went sideways?
