Australia flyhalf Bernard Foley converted the penalty in the match at Twickenham to send the Wallabies into a semifinal against Argentina next Sunday while distraught Scotland players and fans asked why the referee had not referred his decision to the television match official (TMO).
Joubert awarded the decisive penalty for deliberate offside by Scotland’s Jon Welsh at a lineout in the 78th minute but TV replays immediately showed Australia’s Nick Phipps had touched the ball, putting Welsh onside.
