Scotland coach unhappy with pivotal decisions
Scotland head coach Andy Robinson questioned the decisions of referee Nigel Owens after his side were defeated 21-18 by Ireland on Sunday.
The RBS Six Nations contest featured a string of messy scrums, with Owens often halting the action in an attempt to make the set-pieces run more smoothly.
It culminated with Allan Jacobsen being shown the yellow card, and Ronan O'Gara scored Ireland's third and final try while the Scotland prop was in the sin bin.
"There are a number of issues that I have about the game," said Robinson, who will attempt to speak to Owens about the decisions.
"Firstly, the high Irish penalty count and no sin-bins and their ability to slow our ball down illegally.
"Secondly, I thought the scrums just after half-time - when we've got the Irish going backwards and there was a penalty against us and then from the next scrum our prop (Jacobsen) was sin-binned - was a major turning point in the game.
Delighted
"We were just about to get on top of the Irish and to lose a player like that is pretty hard to come back from. But I'm delighted with the way the team came back from that.
"I want to know why he made those calls."
The former England boss recognised that his side were at fault for the Ireland tries but stated that he was happy with the hosts' performance at Murrayfield.
Robinson added: "The three tries, again, were pretty soft scores for Ireland to get. That's something we really do have to work at and look at.
"But in terms of the way that we played, I was pleased with the whole attitude in the way that we went about it.
"There's a lot of disappointment about us losing the game, but what's important for us is we're looking to move our game forward. Ultimately we've got to finish opportunities."
