Michael Cheika: Rugby World Cup referee Craig Joubert treated unfairly

“I genuinely feel for Craig Joubert. It’s so unfair. No other referee has had this stuff put out there like that and he’s a very good referee.”

Australia head coach Michael Cheika has issued a strong condemnation of World Rugby’s treatment of referee Craig Joubert.

The sport’s global governing body has admitted that Joubert blundered by awarding the Wallabies the last-gasp penalty that Bernard Foley kicked to seize a 35-34 victory at Twickenham on Sunday, robbing Scotland of a place in the World Cup semi-finals.`
