Yep, he is a controversial ref at the best of times. Anyway, we are through. Argies next!

Missed the game but seems we got the chocolates.
Hate it when refs get it wrong especially at International level.
Reeks of something more sinister.
So Argentine is next, BRING IT ON lol
Hopefully back to full strength

You guys got out of jail against Scotland. Bad enough that Joubert missed that awful late hit on the Scottish full back, but how on earth was that a penalty?

Even worse was the ref running off the pitch at the end. That was pitiful.

But onwards and upwards, Aus will have to improve on that performance to progress.

I know decisions go both ways, but the end of the game was a shocker for Joubert.

Yeah mate agree that that ref call was abit questionable but there were so many calls through the night against both teams that were questionable. It's his call at the end of the day, we all just have to live with it.

I think the fact that that penalty was right at the end of the game is why it has attracted such a focus and vehement reactions. No one seems to be talking about all the shit calls that went against the Aussie scrum earlier on, or that very dubious knock-on in the scrum against Genia. Yes, the Scots are understandably not happy, but one ref's call was not the deciding factor in that game and I think it is piss weak that World Rugby threw Joubert under the bus for that one call. Nick Phipps didn't 'intentionally' play the ball anyway, so whose to say that the call was not correct and the video ref would not have agreed?

No one is saying that ALL of the other penalties given during the game were all correct. It was 5 tries to 2 and despite all the mistakes, at the end of the day I personally think the better team won. But maybe I am seeing things through my Wallaby eyes...

Joubert has never been a Wallabies fan either, so it comes down to a human error, if it was one, and that is part of the game.

What's the saying - 'Swings and Roundabouts'?

agree with everything else you said, especially the unfair scrum penalties. i REALLY REALLY agree with this though, 5 tries to 2, and the scots didnt even earn those tries we handed them to them...an intercept and a charge down are valid tries but all the same they were really just freebies.
