Wales left it late to stage a stunning comeback and beat France in their World Cup quarter-final on Sunday, but the circumstances surrounding the match-winning try sparked some heated debate on social media.

Warren Gatland's team recovered from 10-19 down to win 20-19, with Dan Biggar converting Ross Moriarty's 74th minute try.

There was an agonising wait for Wales as the TMO checked for a possible Wales knock-on in the lead-up to the try, but the score was awarded.
