AUSTRALIAN rugby boss Phil Waugh has demanded World Rugby offer up an explanation following the British & Irish Lions' controversial win over the Wallabies on Saturday.
Head coach Joe Schmidt was fuming Hugo Keenan's last-minute try was allowed to stand, believing Jac Morgan's clearout on Carlo Tizzano in the buildup to the score was illegal.
Schmidt made the point immediately after the game, aiming his displeasure at the officials, and now the coach has been backed up by his bosses.
"We've got the utmost respect in respecting the referee's decision," said Rugby Australia CEO Waugh.
"But I do think there's a level of accountability and explanation that needs to come with that. And we look forward to that.
"My response is absolutely identical to Joe's comments in the press conference.
