WATCH: Officials bizarrely miss Iain Henderson's seemingly obvious try

As Ireland made a strong start to their Six Nations clash with Italy in Rome, there was plenty of confusion as officials missed a seemingly straight forward Iain Henderson try. 

Although it was the Italians who got the opening score in Rome on Saturday afternoon, no sooner had Ireland leveled things up with a penalty kick of their own that it appeared Ulster's Iain Henderson had gotten over the line for a try.

Demonstrating some of the attacking flair that analysts have been calling for from Andy Farrell's team, there was widespread confusion among onlookers when it was decided that Henderson had apparently lost control of the ball.

If he could not believe it on the pitch, few others could watchin from their homes.

Thankfully, Ireland did not have to wait much longer until Garry Ringrose got the ball over the line and Ireland got the lead their play deserved.

Ireland eventually ran out 48-10 winners against Italy in Rome.
