Ireland legend Brian O’Driscoll says match officials should share the blame with French TV directors for missed head shots in the Investec Champions Cup semi-final in Bordeaux.
Bath coach Johann van Graan claimed match officials missed three “clear headshots” in their 38-26 loss, blaming their inaction on the lack of TV images provided by the host broadcasters.
However, France Televisions hit back, saying it is “impossible to hide footage”.

O’Driscoll addressed the incidents during an Off the Ball podcast:
‘We’re trying to get referees to see it in real time. Pay attention!’
‘The Lucu one, we got two replays…’
‘I don’t know what the TMO was doing, I don’t know what the referee is doing!’
