Check the last 30 seconds of the clip, it is all there….Joubert almost doing a “Clive Norling jumping for joy ” rendition as he blew for the penalty.
@ Pietman:
looks like a knock on by Laidlaw, hit forward by Strausses shoulder, caught by the Scot in an offside position… looks about right.

Some funny stuff here! Not that it is a laughing matter…

Nope, I agree with the following commentator on the incident in question, and his views on Joubert’s performance as a whole:
“Replays suggested that Joubert may have been wrong though.
Scotland may have knocked the ball on, but Wallaby replacement scrumhalf Nick Phibbs then touched the ball before Scotland replacement Jon Welsh played it – and was penalised for doing so.
The decision came minutes after a clear late interference by Australia’s Drew Mitchell – for which the wing apologised – which went unpunished despite the largely Scottish 77 110 crowd baying for Joubert to refer to the TMO.
In a third contentious decision, in the 42nd minute of the match, Joubert yellow-carded Scotland wing Sean Maitland for a deliberate foul which was harsh in the extreme.”

@ Pietman:
according to the rules the player has to touch it intentionally (i.e. a chargedown) for an offside player to become on side.
11.3 Being put onside by opponents
(c)Intentionally touches ball. When an opponent intentionally touches the ball but does not catch it, the offside player is put onside.
Do you think Phipps played the ball back intentionally? I could not see that clearly from the footage.
@ MacroPolo:
Will check later, I am running late for class….see you in 2 hours or so.
My goodness but that bar’s filling up quickly.
And don’t anybody expect the Scotsman to buy a round.
Thought you chaps might find this interesting.

When that final penalty was awarded, I also felt a sense of karma, not for the above reason, but for Stuart Hogg’s dive trying to milk a penalty or yellow card in the pool match against the Boks.
Any sympathy i held for the jocks then disappeared when they boo’ed Stephen Moore when he was being interviewed.
The good old days when watching rugby with the jocks was a lesson in humility have long gone – they’re as bad as the poms these days for their whingeing.
@ bos_otter:
Yes, interesting indeed! So, Japan could have been there instead of Scotland if it weren’t for Laidlaw’s “no try” against Samoa? Pity, I would have loved seeing the Japanese progress to the latter stages.
@ Pietman:
Yeah, that would have been awesome.
One of my Australian mates was at Twickenham yesterday. He mentioned the atmosphere turned very hostile towards the end of the game. Was not the right thing to do, but might explain why Craid decided to make bee-line for the changing rooms….pity he didn’t stay and defended his decision.
@ Charo:
Howzit Charo! Well, since you put it THAT way, maybe it is just as well the Jocks fell out. Unfortunately I haven’t watched any of the games lately, being out here in the sticks, so I wasn’t aware of those instances of bad behaviour and unsportman-like attitudes on the Scottish side of the fence…not lekka that

@ Pietman:
Hi Piet,
Back in 1999 RWC I had the pleasure of being at Murrayfield for the Scots/Bok game.
Was lucky enough to chat to Gordon Brown (RIP) the Broon from Troon before the game.
In those days there was a good cameraderie at games and the only enemy was the English.
All changed now sadly.
@ Charo:
The Scots were based I Pretoria during the 1995 World Cup, had some of them over at my place and at Loftus Restaurant during that month, great bunch of lads they were!
By the way, have you read the late Gordon Brown’s autobiography? Check the chapter about the 1974 test at Boet Erasmus, where he tells the story about the “one-eyed grass monster”, referring to Johan de Bruyn the Free State lock, who stuck his glass-eye back into its socket after that big “99 call” punch-up, with a clump of grass sticking out!
@ Pietman:
Ja, read his book, loved it. Such a gentleman of the game.
I am reading comments on the Scots/OZ game from as many sources as possible and the reaction of the jocks has been unacceptable. Gavin Hastings, of all people, saying he was disgusted by the late penalty decision. Lots of emotion from the jocks without considering how lucky they were to get even close (Oz giving away soft tries got the jocks close). They are also going on about the yellow card – that was the call of the Kiwi TMO (yet Joubert gets all the heat).
Even Gregor Paul can’t help himself from putting the boot in.
All emotional claptrap which wil come back to bite them in the cold light of day.
@ Pietman:
One of my favorite Springbok vs Scotland anecdotes is the one about Hennie “Die Windhond” Muller: during that 1951 test at Murrayfield which the Boks ended up winning 44-0, Muller apparently felt so bad about the beating they were giving the Scots that he went over to the Scottish players during half-time, to offer them a bit of tactical advice on how to counter the Boks’ attacks;-)
As an aside, when my dad was a boy, he saw Muller play against the All Blacks during that 4-0 whitewash series, and to this day, you can’t convince him that there has ever been a finer nr.8 on this earth.

One of the All Blacks, I think it was Colin Meads* said those days the All Blacks already watched their diet, and didn’t drink or smoke before the test series. Ate a big steak the night before the game etc.
He said Hennie Muller played the crap out of them, and he was surprised when Windhond lit up a cigarette at halftime
Didn’t impede his performance because he played even better the second half
I see Nick Phipps has admitted that he attempted to play the ball as it bounced off him “We were all going for it”
So therefore the penalty was wrong, The player was played onside by Phipps.
Knock on seems to have been the best call.
@ RobbedbyCraigJoubert:
#261 World Rugby has issued a statement saying Joubert made a mistake it shouldn’t have been a penalty BUT that he was correct to not consult TMO.
