Scotland’s deliberate knock-on was the Pivotal moment in the Six Nations Round 2 game leading to a Wales’ win.
Scotland fly-half Finn Russell was yellow-carded for a deliberate knock on in a controversial moment that might swing the Six Nations clash in Wales’ favour.
Wales were camped on Scotland’s line when Russell attempted to intercept a pass out wide.
But facing contact, the number 10 couldn’t grasp the ball, instead knocking it forward, leading to a review from the TMO.
