Mindless? Just how arrogant can you be?

Joubert made a wrong decision that pretty much cost the Scottish a place in the semi finals of a RWC, of course that decision is going to be discussed.

.

discussing the calls is fine - all refs make mistakes and in all matches there are 50/50 calls which could go either way.  Its calling refs biased, saying they cost us the match etc that demeans us all.  Two 50 / 50 calls in the match  Accidental knock on going for an intercept or deliberate knock on and accidental or deliberate offside at the end.  and one possible missed late hit

However as many off us have said its not what cost us the match.  what cost us the match was two poor lineouts, 3 botched restarts and poor maul defense

Enough - I'm off to look at the stats

I'm saying absolutely nothing wrong with the Oz team. To me, they weren't constantly offending, putting in high tackles, killing the ball.

The Oz players are not the cause of this

Joubert was the defining factor in the outcome of this game.

World rugby need to look at this. There was such hype about this World Cup being used to open rugby to the masses. What new follower is going to bother with a sport where regardless of how well you play, if you don't get the decisions from the ref, you're not going to win!!!

Think our mistakes at the line out and restarts were the deciding factor, think you're giving Joubert too much credit.

Stats - wow - I thought the game fairly even - not in the stats its not.

Denton our top carrier, Our outside backs saw almost no ball.  18 tackles non missed for ickle Jonny

Positives to take from this game and this WC

Ickle Jonny is as good as we thought he was.  When he grows up he will be world class

Russell is not immune to pressure and seems to have the scottish 10 brainfart gene but he also has a bit of magic about him

Dentons found some form - today he even beat a couple of guys.  Back Row looks really good with the luxury of being able to pick horses for courses.  

Furra Linee took his chance at 12 really well, Bennett is damn good.  Hogg is a snarling wee brat but a damn fine player.

Hardie looks a good find and you know what - he has really taken a gamble and put his entire career on the line for us.

Laidlaw is back to his best.  Ok he will never make a world 15 but his passing is spot on and he even made a few good runs and tackles fearlessly

Scott looked woefully out of form but he will be back bvut we have back ups that are good

I just wish the WC was next year - we might be ready then.  This is a very young team with a lot of very inexperienced players but today we pushed one of the top teams in the world to the wire.  We will only get better.  Bring on the 6N.

Oh - and after a decade we seem to have found the right coach for us. He plays the tactics to suit the players and the game - he doesn't try to make them do stuff they don't believe in. He is gaining confidence in the players and they are in him. The futures bright

Despite the defeat Scottish Rugby is in a much better place. Not only do we have BVC, but he is bringing in his own staff, we will shortly have a new attack coach, and hopefully we can get shot of Humphries and get Waka in charge. Give our pack an edge.

On a final note WP Nel is my hero.

I forgot to mention Nel - he has had a great tournament. Looks like a proper prop, scrums like one and is also good in the loose.

I'm most dissapointed in Russell I think. couple of brainfarts and not much of the great vision.

Proud of what the guys did but unbelievably disappointed that we are out. Being critical of the ref isn't going to help as we caused our own downfall - how many restarts did we lose, was it right to throw long in the slashing rain at the death etc?
The future looks good. I suspect Ford may retire from internationals now and hope that Dickinson doesn't follow suit. Hooker is ok but LH is a problem as Reid isn't nearly as good as Dicko. Rory Sutherland maybe?
And I think that Laidlaw must now be exempt from criticism for the whole of the 6N - he showed real skills and leadership over the last two games

Well done Scotland, great game - you deserved to win. The other three games were won by the better team - but they didn't have Craig Joubert on the whistle.

Thought Laidlaw was very good, I've said some negative things about him in the past but he really stepped up and made a lot of us look silly. Well done sir.

Last thought - we need to clone someone with the strength of Big Jim Hamilton but the discipline and mobility of one of the Gray boys. We were man-abused at the rolling maul again and don't decide quickly enough how many guys to put in to stop it.
The positives from today far outweigh the negatives, though

Extremely proud of the Scotland team this evening. To a man I thought they fronted up and played some great rugby. Let's not kid ourselves, this was a vastly superior Australia side and we took them to virtually the last kick of the game.

Special mentions go to Nel, both Gray's, Denton, Laidlaw and Bennett. I thought they were particularly awesome.

As for Joubert and THAT decision, I'll say this. In real time I thought he was correct. He was right next to it, felt he had a clear view and made the call. The studio was divided and had the benefit of multiple slow motion replays. I've seen it about 20 times and I'm not 100 per cent. I think a TMO would probably have given accidental offside and a scrum, but we'll never know.

We should never have been in that position. Once again we botched a key restart, then made a completely daft lineout call under pressure.

Still, I don't want to be negative. I thought we were great today.

Final word: awesome news re: Hardie.

Post by Mad for Chelsea Sun Oct 18, 2015 9:11 pm

Didn't mind the decision to give the last penalty TBH. For me the big mistake was the late (and possibly with the shoulder) challenge by Hooper on Hogg. Clearly late, and you can see Hooper changing his line to make sure he runs straight into him. Surely the TMO could/should have intervened on that, given how quick he was to butt in on the Maitland knock-on (for what it's worth that was a very harsh yellow IMO). If that's given as a penalty Scotland clear their lines and can play the remainder in Aus territory. Poor, poor decision IMO.

Really really feel for Scotland, put in a terrific performance.

I was really gutted for Scotland today. I thought they had won the game at one point, but just when you thought Scotland had won they like Wales gave away a penalty and Australi nailed it.

Well played Australia.

But very, very, hard luck to Scotland, out of all the NH teams in this world cup, you of all deserved to go through to the Semi Final. clap clap clap

A couple of real brainfarts from Scotland in the last 2 minutes:

Why throw to the back of the lineout after a complicated move? Richie Gray is 6ft 9 - chuck him up at the front to secure any kind of ball.

Why kick long from the resulting kick off?? We never had a chance of reclaiming it, and all they had to do was hold onto it and kick it out. Russell showed real inexperience there - it had to go high and short with the entire pack plus Maitland doing all they could to reclaim it.

If Hardie comes to Edinburgh I'd like to see Watson at 12/13. Our backrow is looking far too good and Watson should be on the pitch at all costs.

I'd also like to see Capricorn 20Hz as out runout tune.

I'm confident one of these things will happen in the next 7 months.

What? How old is Roddy Grant? I thought he was early 30s and therefore too young for retiring (unless he is held together with sticky tape between games)

I'd like all three of Grant, Watson and Hardie on the pitch at once. Unimaginable chaos.

I think 20 Hz is perfect for us. Sounds like the sort of tune you'd want to hear if you had fake armour print on you strip and lived in a city with a famous castle.

Anyway, back on subject. We will not be dark horses next February. Can't wait.

David Denton:

"I met my family and girlfriend afterwards and you could have filled a bathtub with all our tears.

... this has affected the rest of our lives and it’s affected a nation."

Sad

David Denton - born in Zimbabwe, raised in South Africa, couldn't have given any more for Scotland.

He should have sent it to the TMO. He made a mistake.

This has already been covered here in some details, he couldn't refer it to the TMO

So why was the TMO allowed to intervene in the decision re Maitland?

Foul play.

foul play in what sense?

what's the difference in looking at whether a knock-on was deliberate or whether an offside was deliberate?

Foul play.

You can not have it both ways

Deliberate knock on vs deliberate offside - either both can be tmo or neither

No difference

Joubert is a disgrace and after the 2011 World Cup final should never be allowed to ref again. He bottles it too often

Where was the two for the delibrate taking out of Hogg

As usual the rugby World Cup is f ed by decisions.

It is pointless being a small nation. You are not allowed to get above your station

An hour after the match, Phipps confirmed that there was intent on his part to play the ball when it hit him, which is hugely significant, as it means he effectively played Welsh onside. Thus, the quick call made by Joubert was wrong, which means this was not just a system malfunction but a miscarriage of justice.

I am so proud to be a Scottish rugby fan today and how often have I been able to say that over the past 20 years!

It is an awful way to lose a game, knowing we were done by a very poor refereeing decision, which was not his only one in the game.

However I also agree that we should have closed out the game and not left it in the refs hands. The truth is this game came to soon for us, you have to learn how to win these tight games and we just don't have that experience.

We do know now that we can play with the big boys now and that's what we need to be aiming to do from here on in.

All in all, its been a very good WC for Scotland. We achieved our goals and exceeded expectations. Maybe other teams will not take us so lightly from here on in.

No risky - on the deliberate knock on there wa potentially a try nscoring opportunity so TMO use correct.  On the final call there was not - so no TMO - the laws governing this have been stated several times on this thread.  

You need to understand the laws. Joubert applied the laws correctly to what he saw. End of it. did it brush Phipps fingers - maybe maybe not. It is not clear and Phipps intent to touch the ball makes no difference

Sorry but the first one was so far away from a possible try scoring opportunity. He was even angling for a penalty try. He had in his mind the outcome of this match

Are these the same laws you said I needed to understand on the ford and gray bans, which I seemed to get quite right that time angel

TMO or not he got the call wrong and favoured the top ranked side decision after decision . He always does and it stole a chance

Yes we should have secured the ball in the line out and if we had lost due to good play or even a proper error, would be gutted and sad, but to be cheated out of it again devalues both the game and Australia (who we very god again)

Commiserations Scots. Your team put in a terrific performance. Beat us at the scrum and played a better game at the breakdown. The two areas we have been strongest this tournament.

I think we are nearly done. Arg have momentum and are playing very well, whereas we have probably flattered to deceive with a good performance against England but only holding on v Wales and v Scotland.

Still, 12 months ago Oz rugby was self-destructing and I would have taken a final four finish as a great result. Cheika has done a terrific job.

And well played. You team had some great tries and it was a ding dong match

The ranting above is nothing against the Ozzie team, just our chance at a semi final Hug

No way I am going to get angry at Joubert for Scotland failing to control a Lineout. Such a shame, Bennett had won the game for Scotland and wallabies fans were literally shell shocked when he ran straight under the posts. 4 mins to go, in control of the ball. Just hold onto it!!!! picard picard picard picard picard

However, Scotland did very well and looked a great side for a lot of the game. I'm sure they earned a few new fans and a bit more respect on the world stage.

Pumped for the 6N!

Perhaps Joubert was just dying for a slash?
