Timeline

2016

He retired from refereeing 15-a-side matches at the end of 2016 to take up a role as a Referee Talent Development Coach at World Rugby.

He retired from refereeing 15-a-side matches at the end of 2016 to take up a role as a Referee Talent Development Coach at World Rugby. While the job would mainly consist of developing younger referees, he would continue to referee on the World Rugby Sevens Series.

2015

He took part in four pool games at the 2015 Rugby World Cup and the quarter final match between Scotland and Australia. During that quarter final, he was criticised for incorrectly awarding a penalty to Australia in the final minutes, which Australia converted to win the match 35–34, and for rushing off the field at the end of the match.

At the conclusion of the 2015 Super Rugby season, World Rugby announced that Joubert would return to the World Sevens Series for 2015–16, in an attempt to earn a selection to officiate at the rugby sevens event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

He was named on the refereeing panel of the 2015 Rugby World Cup and took charge of four matches during the pool stage of the tournament. He was also appointed to officiate the quarter final between Australia and Scotland, which Australia won 35–34. However, Joubert's decision to award a last minute penalty to Australia "provoked outrage" among Scotland supporters – as well as former players like Andy Nicol and Matt Dawson – after replays showed that Joubert had awarded the penalty erroneously. Scotland wanted Joubert to refer the incident to the television match official (TMO); but he was prevented from doing so by TMO protocol. Following a review of the referee's performance, World Rugby stated that Joubert should not have awarded the penalty. However, this public review of Joubert's performance also attracted criticism from figures within the game, such as Australia coach Michael Cheika and former player David Campese. In addition, Joubert was also criticised by former Scottish captain Gavin Hastings and former Scotland winger Kenny Logan for rushing from the field immediately after the match ended, rather than shaking hands with the players and fellow officials, as is the tradition.

After his spell officiating in the 2015–16 World Rugby Sevens Series, Joubert was included on the list of referees that would take charge in the Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics. He also remained active in the fifteen-man version of the sport, officiating in the 2016 Super Rugby season. In May 2016, he was appointed to officiate the Bulls versus Lions match, his 100th appearance in the competition.

2014

He officiated fifteen matches in the 2014 Super Rugby season, which included his second consecutive final as the Waratahs hosted the Crusaders in Sydney, where again he come under criticism for a late penalty he awarded in favour of the Waratahs giving them the win. The following day Joubert contacted both Crusaders Coach Todd Blackadder and Crusaders Captain Richie McCaw to apologise, announcing to both that he got the final call wrong. Joubert officiated the Argentina versus New Zealand match in the 2014 Rugby Championship in La Plata. He refereed several matches in the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division, including the final between Western Province and the Golden Lions.

2013
