Australia v Scotland - Match Highlights - Rugby World Cup 2015

Scotland, shouldering the slender hopes and dreams of the northern hemisphere, had their hearts broken by a last-minute penalty from Australia's Bernard Foley to bow out of RWC 2015 in an agonising 35-34 defeat at Twickenham on Sunday.
Just six minutes earlier Scotland centre Mark Bennett had latched on to a horror pass by Wallaby replacement prop James Slipper to race in under the posts. Greig Laidlaw's conversion then gave Vern Cotter's battling team a 34-32 lead, and started the Scots dreaming of a first World Cup semi-final appearance since 1991.
Scotland gave their all and, buoyed by 19 points from the punishing boot of Laidlaw, can count themselves desperately unlucky.
It was the Wallabies, feasting off some early front-foot ball, who took the lead after eight minutes of a pulsating contest when centre Tevita Kuridrani broke Tommy Seymour’s attempted tackle to put wing Adam Ashley-Cooper diving over in the right-hand corner.
Scotland surged back into the Australian half and Laidlaw reduced the deficit to two points with a penalty after Wallabies’ flanker Scott Fardy was penalised.
The Scots grew in confidence after Laidlaw’s three-pointer and the Wallabies were rocked further back on their heels when centre Peter Horne crossed underneath the posts after picking the ball up a ruck and racing over unopposed. Laidlaw added the conversion for a 10-5 lead.
Australia were clearly rattled and, when Scotland turned the screw at a scrum - loosehead Scott Sio was penalised for collapsing under pressure from WP Nel - Laidlaw stepped up to land the penalty and make it 13-5 with 25 minutes played.
Scotland were excellent value for their lead but Australia underlined their potency with the ball in hand to reduce the deficit to three points after 30 minutes with a try by left wing Drew Mitchell, after Sio and Kane Douglas made the initial dents in the Scottish defence.
Another penalty by Laidlaw, after more pressure on the Australian scrum, put Scotland 16-10 ahead on 33 minutes before the Wallabies struck on the stroke of half-time to make it 16-15 through Michael Hooper.
The Wallabies scored immediately after the break when Scotland wing Sean Maitland was adjudged to have deliberately knocked on and sent to the sin bin. Mitchell dived over from the ensuing lineout for his second try of the match and Foley at last found his range to put Australia in front 22-16.

As an italian rugby fan, i've always sympathize with Scotland rugby team, since it's the only team that Italy can ( sometimes ) reach in 6 nations tournament. And today i've strongly supported the Scotland team against Australia. It was an awesome match for you, and i've sweared, like only an italian man can do, when the final kick was given against you. Great job, and good luck to this brave team, from Italy.

[@gmaccruyff55]

The ridiculous 10 minute "sin-bin",for an UNINTENTIONAL knock on (ball to hand not hand to ball) was what turned the game(48 min).+The very very late tackle on Hogg was totally ignored and the decision at the end should have been a scrum for a Knock-on and never a penalty! That stupid corrupt ref!

[@TheFunkhouser]

+gmaccruyff55 I dont get how things like this can still go unanswered and sway a game. Its srsly messed up!

+gmaccruyff55 an unintentional knock on...yeah because when you stick one hand out and don't even bother to try and chase the hit you're clearly not intending to interfere with play whatsoever! LOL

[@thomasbisset1136]

+gmaccruyff55 if a player stops a pass by knocing it down, its a professional foul which is a yellow. the only way it is not, is they are making a genuine intercept attempt.

[@Doylz1]

+alternativebassist and the way they booed Stephen Moore giving his speech at the end was the icing on the cake, Jesus be mad a the ref (who made the right call) if you want, but that got nothing to do with the Captain giving a speech at full time. so pathetic.

As an Argentinian fan, let me tell you Scotish fans: I know exactly how you feel. We always suffer these kind of "referee misunderstandings", specially against the All Blacks or any anglo-saxon team.

As a Wallabies fan, commiserations to Scotland who played with heart. I will admit that I am very happy with the win, but embarrassed on how we won. Joubert's call at the end was wrong, it should have been our scrum and the yellow card was harsh. Please don't think us Australians like Joubert, prior to this game many were saying him and Quade Cooper (who didn't come on thankfully) would lead us to a loss. I feel your pain Scottish fans, this has happened to us many times, but please don't throw insults to our team. They took the chance they were given, you can't blame us for that.

[@heathermccreight7895]

+utuber5055 You are one of the few aussies that I don't want to punch right now! Im scottish born and bred but I've been in NZ since i was 10, so not only am I annoyed that the Scots got cheated, but also annoyed that the Wallabies won! Its nice to see an Aussie realising that they did not deserve that penalty.

[@utuber34500]

***** If he didn't call that penalty, we still would have had a chance to score points off a scrum. Whether we would have won will remain a mystery. Heather McCreight I like seeing the Wallabies win, but hate it when its under controversial circumstances. You've been "Jouberted" which is what I like to say when Joubert wrongly influences a result, and trust me, the Wallabies have been Jouberted many times so I understand the pain going through Scotland fans - and rightly so!

[@utuber34500]

solidgoldstan Agree. But honestly, Joubert has had way too many controversial games in his career. I don't think he is up to knock-out rugby anymore. Such a shame an exciting game had to end like that. Anyway, good luck in the six nations next year, beat England for us.

+Arden Macbeth And Scotland didn't gift the Aussies any tries? Tommy Seymour's missed tackle on Kuridrani for the first one was about as big a gift as any. And as for the wide open space on the Scottish right wing that Joubert gifted you for the fourth? And before you start about the try scoring chances Australia butchered or kicks at goal they missed, don't forget that Mark Bennet dropped an easy catch for a two on one run in the first half, and Laidlaw missed a conversion after Seymour's try which, my his standards on the day, was kickable. Finally, before you play the charity card again, never forget it was Scotland who gifted Joubert the chance to make his awful error and gift Australia the game. By the way, no hard feelings if the boot was on the other foot we would have done exactly the same.

I was torn. Being Aussie, I was willing my Wallabies to get over the line, but not happy to see it end the way it did. It was good that the Wallabies got into the World Cup (We had a pretty rotten year the year after), but I just felt so much for Scotland. A good match ended by a bad refereeing decision.

+Josh Dugan No, he didn't - the replay showed that quite clearly. Regardless of the validity of the call - and pretty much every single non Australian whether they are a pundit, ex-player or fan, said he had a shocker - his sprint off the pitch at the end was despicable behaviour and absolutely inexcusable.

[@konoko196]

It is amazing how much of a hypocrite some Australians are about this RWC. They were acting as if nothing was wrong with this match simply because they "won", but when they are crushed by a better team, they became all salty about it. Its been over 2 weeks after the finals and some Aussies (see the comments from +False Trinity Doctrine for example) are still replying to some of these comments talking trash, showing how butt hurt they still are. So don't worry about this game, Scotland, New Zealand and the rest of the world know you are better than the Australians and we have avenged you. We were hoping to face Scotland at the finals, at least that would have been a more exciting match then what the Aussies offered... The All Blacks are sick and tired of beating the same team over and over and over again... it is almost unfair.

Whichever video of the rwc I went to there is a butt hurting aussie either banging on about every little infringement only from the all blacks not called by the ref or that they try to comfort themselves by listing every sport they are good at. Never seen such sore losers... How difficult is it to admit you lost to a better team. I am neither a Australian or a New Zealander, and I don't know too much about them but seeing these comments really shows me which is the better country with better people...

[@paksta]

As an Australian, I'll admit that last call was a rough one. But I would say that the unsportsmanlike response in the northern media and some fans, has done more to cast rugby in a poor light than anything Joubert could do. Myself, (and the Scottish ITV commentator), thought Australia copped a rough scrum penalty or two earlier in the match, but as he said at the time, 'you always take what you get'. Refs are human, and he could not go to the replay. On another note, I honestly hope that this will be the start of a bright period for Scotland. I love to see them doing well... more so when it's not against us!

It's not luck when you do it so often, thats just good pressure. As well as that though, we have lost so many times in that same period by 7 or less that it is ridiculous. We have a very young team and we need to learn how to close games out and become a relevant team in World Rugby again. Thanks for a great RWC Scotland, you did us proud! #AsOne

Final score: The Referee 35 Scotland 34

[@borisyeltsin4093]

Australia were robbed of a try regarding Ashley-Cooper so the final penalty evened things up a bit. The Scots largely lived of intercept tries ("The easy way" according to ex-Wallaby coach Bob Dwyer) and poor Wallaby goal kicking. Let us remember that Australia had a territorial dominance of 62% and possession advantage of 55% at the end of the match. The Scots were forced to make almost twice as many tackles as their Australian counterparts. Magnificent opportunism and stoicism from the Scottish team however.

[@nipponsuxs]

+boris yeltsin totally agree Scotland had less possession, less territory, less tries 5-3, two tries were gifted to them, home crowd support, even the conditions near the end favoured the Scots and they complain they should have won LMFAO, this is Rugby not Football, games should be won by tries not with the boot.

[@olivermccall3898]

+big .one No, according to the Australians, matches are won by bad refereeing decisions!

[@brianlorne4263]

+boris yeltsin It's not about possesion or territory, but what you do with the ball when you get chances. Scotland came away with points when they had opportunities, and why they deserved to be in front most of the game!

Thats not a achievememt. Please you should easily beat the Scots even with 2 injuries. I would be impressive of you beat a team like Wales or South Africa with injuries.

[@numpty4835]

+Potaka79 Let's face it you can't go wrong if you have the ref on your side a different ref and your FK'd:-)

[@wallabyway6444]

+Numpty We have the worst record with Joubert. We dislike him as much as Scotland do.

[@joejones9458]

+WallabyWay your saying he sides with Australia when we lost our semi final place wtf are you talking about

[@harryjones2672]

That was Scotland's World Cup ruined by Joubert.

[@iiiiiiii5319]

Is that actually coming from an Englishman? 🤭

[@clubcardpoints]

Scotland played their hearts out and benefitted from some missed kicks. It was close with a devastating decision at the end. But the Australians are a class team and the stroke of luck just didn't edge us through. Great performance Scotland and let's win the 6 nations!

[@Sinok17]

Can you upload the full match plz?

[@davidunoi7099]

Much has been made here in Samoa about the injustices of the reffing system that has gone on in this otherwise fantastic RWC, regarding some dubious calls that went both ways in our match with the Scots, and the comments elsewhere from supporters of the Scottish team were that Samoa weren't good enough, as there were penalties that weren't awarded to the Scots too. That is fair enough, and we've sort of just...moved on from it and accepted out fate...BUT the national uproar and the headhunting vitriol that is currently being thrown Joubert's way....woooooow. Repeat after me...ITS JUST A GAME. YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME. Don't be sore losers about it.

[@gmaccruyff55]

+david Unoi The Law is a farce,unless applied correctly! WS were fantastic in this tourney.

[@Tee.NZ.07]

+gmaccruyff55 WS?

[@gmaccruyff55]

Western Samoa

[@Tee.NZ.07]

Not Western Samoa anymore

[@gmaccruyff55]

+LLV Apologises, in 1997 it changed to Samoa! Still a fantastic team to watch team,Very entertaining!

[@cschaka1]

It was NO PENALTY KICK, the Aussie had his hands on the ball, then the ball went onto the Scot's back and only then the nr.18 Scot played it. From what I know, a ball bouncing off the back of a player who never had possession of that ball IS NOT A KNOCK-ON. Hence the nr.18 Scot was onside and NO PENALTY KICK. The ref robbed the Scots of their World Cup Semifinal.

[@heathermccreight7895]

+cs chaka Could not agree with you more!

[@falsetrinitydoctrine9500]

shut up we won.

[@renepointon9153]

+False Trinity Doctrine But will you win the World Cup? If you keep playing like this, you might not even show up to face New Zealand in a the final. Still, I think New Zealand will defend their title this World Cup.

[@falsetrinitydoctrine9500]

Rene Pointon question is. Have you won the cup? Im kiwi-Australian so its win win for me ahaha!

[@renepointon9153]

False Trinity Doctrine I'm Kiwi, and rooting for them all the way. Nice job on Argentina.

[@belllabean]

anyone know if there is a way to view the whole game now on the internet? here on you tube or somewhere else? cheers

[@alessandrorancan6948]

grandissima scozia ! che partita

[@CONANSPLIT]

Another shamefull performance by Craig Joubert, he should never referee at this level...this was as shamefull as his wracking of France in 2011. And what to say to his evacuation off the field, as 2 proud teams stood the ground....Joubert is a black spot of thus wounderfull game

[@kieranmazurek9474]

+Mark A Scotland played more as a team! Australia played more like on there own?! Scotland had pressured Australia through all the second half!

[@himatey1]

+Kieran Mazurek yes you might be correct, Scotland played more as a team. But this is rugby, not football where tries should win you the game. Some teams may have gone for the points at the end of the first half rather than the lineout

[@utuber34500]

+Kieran Mazurek But Australia's 5 tries came from teamwork, and Scotland's 3 tries from individual brilliance?

[@Elvin181821]

+Kieran Mazurek did you not see the mauls? where the wallibies forwards pushed over the line...twice? and how they spread the ball to the wing as a team?

[@cebsone]

+Kieran Mazurek Yet they still lost despite the tries we gifted them.

[@whateverbro3848]

+Frank White Aussies cannot even respect the Scots for taking on a big nation. You didn't gift tries scotland earned them. It is like saying france gifted tries to NZ. Nz didn't play well(which they did play well) it was just France gifted them tries. A try is a try, doesn't matter how it comes.

[@wassup8691]

Even as an Aussie Wallabies supporter, I couldn't be excited or thrilled at the 80 minute mark. It left me thinking did we deserve to progress. The Wallabies were sloppy at times and Scotland made us pay. Their forwards drove hard and direct, they battered what was a solid Aussie scrum and the constant pressure was telling on the Wallabies. We scraped into the semi's but won't progress any further without much improvement. Whilst the Scots didn't progress, this team has a bright future. Well played.

[@Slaeowulf]

The match of the tournament so far. A valiant effort, Scotland. To go from the wooden spoon at the 6 Nations to this was an incredible achievement. As rugby fans, let's celebrate that fact and leave out any animosity towards the referee if we disagree with his decision. Craig Joubert is a world class official and had no interest in either team winning. Let's not bring ourselves down to the level of football fans. As my old Dad used to say: "Head down, yes Sir and play on".

[@lautarodelucia6480]

That in the end was not a penalty! Why didn't they TMO'd it ?

[@swagosaurusflex5082]

+Maceta because they cant

[@edwardfrosty4059]

Not allowed to.

[@mariferrol7847]

Scotland deserved more, bad referee caused Scotland defeat, but we'll played Scotland

[@johncahill5418]

Extraordinary. More of the controversial bits please. The great escape :)

[@cutler12345]

go you wallabies! best game of rugby ive ever seen! thank you Scotland!!

[@fjphoto23]

5 tries to 3 hmmmm..

[@gmaccruyff55]

+Josua Mudreilagi Against 14 for 10 mins hmmmm!

[@dwayneluteru285]

+gmaccruyff55 still won hmmmmm

[@himatey1]

+gmaccruyff55 Australia down to 13 men vs Wales, Australia held thr nerve, Scotland didn't.

[@nipponsuxs]

+gmaccruyff55 Scotland had less possession, less territory, less tries 5-3, two tries were gifted to them, home crowd support, even the conditions near the end favoured the Scots and they complain they should have won LMFAO, this is Rugby not Football, games should be won by tries not with the boot. hmmmm

[@olivermccall3898]

+big .one Bad refereeing won Australia this game!

[@Ge0328]

if you play against nz like that you might as well come home now...

[@shahabulsatil2290]

this is nice video, i like this video, thanks for share the video.

[@MattBrowningNZ]

I'll never forget Craig Joubert running from the pitch at the final whistle! He knew he had stuffed that call up for Scotland :/

[@LucaBacigalupo]

Looks like a pretty good call to me.. Knocked on by the scots, and #18 grabs the ball and dives on it. He was offside, and grabbed it after it was knocked on.

[@unfknblvable5292]

+Luca Bacigalupo Was knocked on first by Australia and even if it wasnt that offside offense isnt a penalty its a scrum.

[@frankybell2003]

+David Macadam Absolutely correct.

[@whateverbro3848]

It was knocked on by a scot then a aussie touched it first, once a aussie touches a knocked on ball from scotland then Its knock on advantage, therefore when it is knock on advantage, there Is no more offside. If scotland gets the ball back after knock on advantage like Strauss then it is suppose to be a scrum to Australia.

[@nukestrom5719]

Australia won thanks to the referee. Scotland won the match but it was stolen from them at the last minute.

[@jimshannon9402]

did otago throw the game against wellington last week

[@BonesTheCat]

Absolutely heart breaking. Would've LOVED to see Scotland in the semi's. Go the All Blacks!

[@AussieItalian1993]

A game where Australia were directly responsible for all 8 tries

[@lautarodelucia6480]

Australia played a horrible match, if scotland couldn't win against the worst possible Australia (even for a single point) then they are truly undeserving of being in the WC semis.

[@k7c852]

+Maceta said u

[@brianlorne4263]

+Maceta No Scotland just played well, even rattled Australia at times...Australia where gifted a victory by Scotland!

[@lautarodelucia6480]

Im saying that the best scotland played against the worst australia and still couldnt make it. Do you think Scotland stands a chance against the rest of the South ? A good Australia however is probably the only team than can take down ABs.

[@ronmcfarlane7391]

+Brian Lorne Oz were gifted a victory by Joubert

[@lautarodelucia6480]

+F1Hutchy14 Scotland aren't deserving of the semi final because they lost. And trust me, if they had played against the NZ that defeated france, the Argentina that defeated Ireland, or the SA that defeated Wales they would have had a painful defeat. You must be stupid if you think this is the same Australia that took on Wales. If the scots arent good enough for a six nations do you think they deserve the semis now that the Irish got knocked off by the worst of the 4 nations ? I never mocked Scotland in my comment, I just stated the facts, Scotland going to Semis would have been ppintless and the only reason they got remotely close to wining was because of all of Australias innacuracies.

[@darbycrash5320]

respect from Scotland!

[@LucasGonzalezA]

Does anyone know where can I find the full match ? Due to a power blackout on my house I missed the last 20 mins, and I want to watch the controversial penalty.

[@takud1789]

I'm japanese rugby fan.The game was breathtaking. And the result is, for me , convincing. In that situation there's no point in criticising ref. millions things are happening and millions judges are made in the field. some judges go for or against either side. Wallabiees are deserving winner considering scots's all try were fluke(sorry for this expression) despite ozi's made 5 beautiful text-book tries. People should look at the whole game instead of focusing on one miss judge even if it was game-deciding.

[@wallabyway6444]

Japan should have been in the quarters anyway, Samoa should have beaten Scotland.

[@gmaccruyff55]

+ponmerci marius Even though they had one man advantage?

[@takud1789]

+WallabyWay Yes Laidlaw clearly committed knock-on before his last winning try which was not called by ref.

[@martigo6508]

and that was the penalty that eliminated scottland and argentina too

[@callum786]

Tough luck Scotland but you played well and it was a great game. Scotland s clearly getting better and their will be much more victories for Scotland in the future and for every other team now that some of the New Zealand players are retiring soon.

[@andrewinche9205]

Scotland should have won that

[@brisvegas859]

It's September 2021 and I still watch this often to remind myself that Scotland are a better team than the Wallabies. So disappointing.

[@alexdonnelly329]

Can someone explain the penalty at the end to me

[@theol6790]

I'm not even surprised to see that it is Craig Joubert. He made the same thing in worse in final 2011. I still remember it, 10 years ago...

[@matro2]

As an Australian, this hurt to watch.

[@keithdinsmore3602]

Everyone's saying Scotland are being bad losers but in the post match interviews Cotter,Laidlaw,Bennett and others didn't criticise the ref despite being great controversaty.Imagine if u were in the Scottish team u wouldn't get a nights sleep ages we've never got to the semis imagine what it would have felt like for us #proudtobescottish

[@tre-moon-dous6122]

this game is the most frustrating one that ive watch so far in the RWC 2015
