We were all for the Mamuka Gorgodze decision but this is a stretch, to say the least.
Australia walloped England 33-13, last night, to send the World Cup hosts out of the tournament and set up a potential pool-topper against Wales.
The Wallabies dismantled England in just about every department – with the breakdown being a turnover-fest for the likes of David Pocock and Michael Hooper.
The star of the show, though, was surely Australia out-half Bernard Foley. He ran in two gorgeous tries and kicked another 18 points from the tee.
England lock Joe Launchbury had a decent game – 13 tackles landed, 33 metres made off six carries, one clean break – but even he looked bemused after he was named man-of-the-match.

The Aussies, of course, were typically low-key with their response.
Fox Sports Australia declared the decision was ‘the heist of the century’.
They added: ‘In a decision that not even a crooked boxing judge would allow, rugby fans judged Launchbury to be the standout individual on one of England sport’s darkest days.
