“Open goal” – Stuart Hogg butchers walk-in try against France

26 February 2022

Scotland captain Stuart Hogg ‘missed an open goal’ as he looked set for a walk-in try against France before knocking on.

A big moment at Murrayfield… and it hasn't gone Scotland's way.

Agony for Stuart Hogg. 😩

SOCIAL REACTION:

That’s the closest thing rugby has to missing an open goal!

Butchered by Hogg there.

Orchestrated so well by Van der Merwe.

I would not be surprised if my neighbours come knocking to check I’m ok after my exclamation at Hogg’s fumble there. #SCOvFRA #6nations

Same as 2 weeks ago.

We have 13 great players but Hogg and Russell messing everything up.
