I'm not an expert on the rules but if the ball goes forward from the Scottish player, and then goes backward off the Australian, into the arms of a Scotland player shouldn't it have been a scrum to Australia for a knock on?

That's what the pundits were saying just now. There appeared to be some debate over who it had actually come off last but the ref should've gone to video as I doubt he saw it either.

I agree, he should have gone to the video ref.

Are the captains not allowed to approach and advise the ref to watch the video replay then? Gavin Hastings is fuming. Sounds like he wants to give a verbal battering when he sees him.

Cheated.

I'm gutted for them. They're shellshocked. Time to cheer on Argentina against the Aussies!

I honestly don't get how it was allowed to happen and the passive acceptance of the decision by the players. Don't expect them to get narky but surprised they didn't suggest the video. Or is that deemed ungentlemanly in rugby?

I'm really not sure. I think the decision was made so fast they just got on with it and only on reflection realised that it did them in. It was a really harsh way to exit the tournament.

An heroic yet ultimately tragic Scottish defeat. How very unusual.


Actually, in my opinion this performance was unusual - Scotland were not just heroic but gave a performance up there with one of the top three sides in the world. For years they've been little short of abysmal, and fully deserving most of their defeats, and decidedly unheroic. But, as an Englishman, I will no longer be looking forward to an easy two points in the 6 Nations.

That's what I've liked about this World Cup, it's thrown up some great perfomances where we didn't see them coming. It modes well for future tournaments I'd say.

Yes it's accidental offside. How Joubert could give that a penalty with 100% accuracy is beyond me. Even in replays you can't see the last touch clearly.

I'm with you on that. They played it back about 20 times after the fact and I couldn't call it. In that scenario the fair call would be to say it's an Aussie scrum. A bad call by the ref.

Can't go up to the TMO for that Kerms - it's up to the ref
