Craig Joubert has been appointed as an assistant referee for Scotland’s Six Nationsmeeting with Ireland next year.
The South African referee was criticised for awarding Australia a penalty in the dying moments of their late victory over Scotland in the quarter-final of the Rugby World Cup, with World Rugby later conceding that his decision had been wrong.
Gavin Hastings, the former Scotland international, described Joubert’s swift exit as a “disgrace” and World Rugby admitted that a scrum should have been awarded to Australia rather than a penalty.
The appointments of match officials for the 2016 Six Nations were revealed on Wednesday, with the 38-year-old appointed as an assistant for the match in Dublin on 19 March. Joubert will also make a return to Twickenham, the venue for the World Cup quarter-final, when he takes charge of England’s match against Wales on 12 March.
