Rugby World Cup 2015: 'Craig Joubert wrong to award penalty'

Referee Craig Joubert was wrong to award a crucial 78th-minute penalty against Scotland in Sunday's World Cup quarter-final defeat by Australia, says World Rugby.
Scotland led 34-32 at Twickenham when Jon Welsh was ruled deliberately offside for playing the ball after a knock-on by a team-mate.
The governing body said that, because Australia's Nick Phipps touched the ball, "the appropriate decision should have been a scrum to Australia for the original knock-on".
Scotland lost 35-34 after Bernard Foley kicked the penalty.
The statement added  that South African Joubert "could not refer to the television match official (TMO) in this case and therefore had to rely on what he saw in real time".
