Wal v Sco - non-players on the pitch

[Volun-selected]

Bit of a moan/pet peeve - but why the hell were camera crew on the pitch at the end? I get that the chance Wales would screw-up the kick to touch was tiny but what if they had? What if the kicker had slipped or had a brain-fade or whatever - how would the teams be able to react with the cameras on the pitch?

Are we seeing this more often? I can’t recall seeing anything quite this blatant - maybe I’ve just not noticed - but cameras do seem to be getting more in the way especially on touch (and then people moan about the ’colourful language’ that gets picked up…)

I get they want to ‘get close to the action’ - but stay off the pitch while play is live.

BBC Wales / S4C do it all the time. Interviewing try scorers Filming the referee when he is waiting to blow the whistle to start the game. Pain the the ARSE!

I was also very surprised by this since the game was still ongoing, and I did wonder if Wales might continue play by kicking for corner and try to take away the losing bonus point from Scotland.
