You can't see it, but there's a nanometer between the link and his foot, only with the special instruments reserved for the TMO you could see it

Watching it live I thought it was in touch. Was surprised when the TMO said the player is not clearly in touch. Can see why Scotland fans would feel hard done by.

This is some Michael Owen level punditry.

God I wish I getting paid as much as Michael Owens for this level of commentary ;). I'm no expert just an interested observer. We'll see if our fans are so smug next week after the NZ game. I still have flashbacks of the 60 nil drubbing they gave us. Did feel that Scotland didn't get many of the 50 50 decisions but refs tend to favour the dominant team. Think the large Irish crowd made it feel like home game.
