Just seen the replay and it turns out that it was an Aussie hand that touched the ball first and not a touch by a Scottish player, so yes the award of a penalty kick to Australia was the wrong decision. 

Referee refused to go to TMO, so definitely ROBBED.

The TMO decision is bewildering. They have been use for the most trivial of matters by others in the competition but some are saying that it was not possible for him to use the TMO on Sunday. Surely he could have asked if the TMO thought it was a yellow carding and had him look at it.

Yes we would have beaten that Argentinian team I reckon. Regards Oz's winning penalty, the TMO couldn't be used. Law 6.A.7 says the TMO can be used

1) to check whether a ball has been grounded for a try

2) to check whether a goal has been kicked

3) to check for someone in touch leading up to a try

4) to look back (up to two plays) for infringements before a try is scored

5) to check for foul play

6) to confer about the correct punishment for foul play.

None of these applied unfortunately :(

agree with you n this but the ref could quite easily have had a TMO check on the basis of potential foul play. This would have enabled him to view the lineout and the key part immediately afterwards. Confirm no foul play and get the knock on call correct. Anyway I reckon that in the cold light of day the coaching focus will be on the decision to through long at the line out which was plainly daft. Think we'll be a serious threat at six nations though.
