[QUOTE="ZeroTwo, post: 761939, member: 72695"] Absolutely gutted. But asides a great performance from both teams, thoughts on the obvious referee furore by a Scotland fan: That last mistake by Joubert was not a big one. It is one many referees would make as 99% of the time it's the right call. He should have gone to the TMO, but are we going to do that for every offside call which has the slightest bit of doubt? We all love it when a referee takes charge and makes the decision. HOWEVER, that being said, I thought the Auzzies slightly got the easier job. Three penalties against the same player at the scrum for the same infringement against the Auzzies and not even a warning? Also penalties on the try line and not even a talking to? I won't be bitter about that though. I am proud we came away with dignity and I don't think I've ever seen a game where a referee makes it impossible to win. We were poor in a number of areas including decision making and defensive set up at times. Scotland isn't the finished product unlike Auz, NZ, Ireland or England who all have had most of their squads together a long time. We were always going to make mistakes. I'm just proud of the never say die attitude and dedication we showed. Well played Australia and good luck. [/QUOTE]
