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”.
