    "If I see referee Craig Joubert again, I am going to tell him how disgusted I am. It was disgraceful that he ran straight off the pitch at the end like that.

    "The referee is not expected to make the right decision all the time. That's what the TMO system is in place for. This is the quarter-final of a Rugby World Cup. This is the highest end of our sport and they have to get these decisions right."

    Australia coach Michael Cheika: "I think we were a little flat in the first half. But we got more line speed in the second half."

    Asked if Australia should have been awarded their late penalty: "It's a penalty and that's the way it works. You've still got to kick it."

    Greig Laidlaw tells ITV Sport that the referee should have gone upstairs to review the final penalty decision.

    And, by golly, he should have.

    It looks clearly like Nick Phipps - the Australia scrum-half- got the final touch on the ball before offside Scotland prop Jon Welsh instinctively grabbed it. 

    That should have been an accidental offside and a scrum-down Australia.

    Scotland coach Vern Cotter: "It was a brave effort from our players. The guys played well with good heart and character. They put on a good performances.

    "They didn't let go. They kept believing. They've take that with them."

    Asked if Australia's final penalty should have gone to the TMO: "It might have been nice."

    It is difficult to pick out the positives out of what must be a morgue of dressing room, but that performance was a vindication of Vern Cotter's ambitious and adventurous philosophy.

    Scotland finished bottom of the Six Nations this year. They are a whole lot better than that. There is a very good team in there.

    If his Clermont team are the template, he is worth sticking with.

    Sport can be so brutally cruel.

    Victory written off before kick-off, grasped with five minutes to go and then whipped away with two left.

    The Scots look utterly empty. An emotional gut-punch on top of 80 minutes of Herculean effort.

    Scotland offside! Agony!

    Referee Craig Joubert awards the penalty Australia's way.

    This is kickable. But Bernard Foley's nerves have been less than rock-solid.

    Here we go...

    Scotland fluff the restart collect, but then the Aussies knock on as they recover.

    Suddenly this teeming rain is working in the Scot's favour.

    Four minutes. Just four little minutes.
