'They've hung Craig Joubert out to dry'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

The Daily Mirror's rugby union correspondent Alex Spink says he is "incredulous" at World Rugby's announcement that Craig Joubert got a crucial decision wrong in Sunday's quarter final. 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". But Spink says, "rugby's got to get itself together, because these sort of decisions just make a mockery of the sport." This clip is from 5 live Sport on Monday 19th October 2015.
