Nope, but without his decision we would have lost and that really is a numerical fact. People might have felt differently about our resilience had the decision gone against us. In fact, I think a few people would have been on Makinson's case about not catching the ball!
It isn't fact, it's speculation. We was up 19-14 and the Catalans try was scored near the touchline, it isn't certain Dureau would have kicked it. In fact statistics dictate he is more likely to miss it from that position and under pressure.
You can't claim it to be numerical fact as Dureau may have missed the kick, it is indeed speculation. A lot of people, including yourself, seem to be forgetting that. Not to mention there was still 6 minutes left and anything could have happened.
