There was a moment of confusion with 30 minutes remaining on the clock in Scotland's win against Wales on Saturday afternoon.
Wales, trailing 16-13 at the time, were awarded a penalty inside the Scottish 22 due to crossing.
Initially, captain Alun Wyn Jones indicated to referee John Lacey that he wanted to take a shot at goal from the penalty - the Irish referee pointed towards the posts.
Wales then changed their minds and instead kicked to the corner. Scotland would be awarded a penalty due to obstruction in the lineout, ruining a major opportunity for Wales.
In the post-match press conference, Jones said that he did indeed want to take a shot at goal but was overruled by his kickers. Dan Biggar was especially vocal about his preference to kick to the corner rather than take the points from the penalty.
I would have liked to. The kickers didn't want to, so we went for the corner.
Then I got done for blocking at the back of the lift, but I would have liked to have gone for the three.
Jones is currently favourite to captain the Lions on this summer's tour of New Zealand. He previously led the Lions in the third test against Australia in 2013, a game which the Lions won easily.
Not going to be a popular opinion but Alun Wyn Jones has damaged his Lions captaincy chances with his decisions/attitude in the recent weeks

Yesterday's moment of indecision could certainly be a factor when Warren Gatland comes to deciding who should captain his side against the All Blacks.
