It really annoys me when commentators mention "control" as it's not in the laws, likewise you can push the ball against the bottom of the post/pad and it's a score.
Scott never lost the ball forward, the Connacht player grabbed his right hand away from it and it went backwards and down his right arm before being grounded by Scott's left hand.
Ahh okay my bad thanks TH.
Damn commantators!
