Regarding the Irish try in the corner at 20:11 on the game clock…
WB calls the TMO, same couple of angles shown - not clear & obvious so on-field decision of try stands. The TMO showed this:

Yes, borderline, so not C&O. All OK.
Sexton attempts the conversion, and once done (so can't undo the decision) when all of a sudden we the get a replay from a different angle which I think is a better angle and to me shows the ball carriers foot just on the ground in touch.

Anyone else notice that? We can still debate if this is C&O, but why wasn't this angle shown to WB?
Also - loved the honest reaction from Lowe:
