“I think the game should be replayed,” Bruce Craig, the Bath owner, told The Times, “and we will do what we can to get equity.”

Bath lost the game 20-22. However, the club feels aggrieved on two counts. The final whistle was blown when there were still a few seconds on the clock and when Bath had just won a lineout close to the Toulouse tryline. The game should have been played on and Bath should have been allowed one last crack at winning the game.
I was 99% sure you were quoting satire, but if there's anything I know about the world nowadays, it's that the Onion has a hard time coming up with more risible things than real life is providing. So I googled, just to be on the safe side, and now I am sad with everything.

Contrast with Wasps’ reaction after the Connacht debacle.

If we're replaying matches where bad reffing has demonstrably affected the outcome, we'll pretty much have to have a do-over of every one of last week's games.
