Six Nations: World Rugby has no plans to explain controversial try decision in Scotland defeat to France

Scottish Rugby not taking matter further after Gregor Townsend liaises with referee and governing body

World Rugby has no plans to issue any public explanation regarding the controversial decision not to award Scotland what would have been a match-winning try in last Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations defeat by France at Murrayfield.

The Scots – trailing 20-16 – thought they had secured victory when replacement lock Sam Skinner pushed through and appeared to ground the ball on the line under a ruck of bodies as the clock ticked past the 80-minute mark.
