Referee Craig Joubert will be hoping to avoid the headlines when he returns to Twickenham on Saturday.
The South African sprinted off the pitch during his last outing at HQ, having robbed Scotland of a World Cup semi-final place by incorrectly awarding a late penalty to Australia. His actions led to former Scotland captain Gavin Hastings claiming Joubert had ‘let the game down’ after refusing to shake hands with players.

Saturday will mark Joubert’s first Test since World Rugbytook the unprecedented step of issuing a statement about the blunder, claiming Joubert was unable to consult the TMO. – Daily Mail
