    If rugby referee Craig Joubert thought the furore over his decision to award Australia a match-winning last-gasp penalty against Scotland would soon subside, he was wrong. badly wrong.

    World Rugby has announced that Joubert made a mistake in awarding the pen.

    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.
