Raggs - as I said the only reason both the 'higher' and 'lower' competitions should be different is that this creates a potential conflict of interests that could easily be avoided.
I am led to believe that the penalty count was hugely imbalanced against the Spanish and that some of the decisions were contentious to say the least. Now this may or may not be true, but the accusation could have been avoided so easily. Now I'd say a world rugby review is inevitable.
I haven't seen the match so I don't know. But I thought it worth sharing on here. Thanks for posting the links loverugby1979, I'll take a look later.

Watching the ref highlights, first penalty seemed fine, turnover, not releasing. 2nd one fine, clearly all off feet sealing off the ruck. 3rd with some pretty obvious obstruction. I'm not sure what 1.40 is supposed to be showing. Next one at 1.56 certainly looks like the 9 has come offside. 2.03 not sure what is going on there. 2.20 can't tell if there was a knock on from the footage. No idea what the next sequence is supposed to show. Then we just see a pen advantage, but no footage leading up.
I'm not watching the game, but I'm going to stop with the highlights now. Maybe the ref did have an awful game, but whoever edited that video did no better!

There are plenty of neutral refs who could, and should, have taken a game of such importance and dispelled any accusations of bias. Stupidity by whoever appointed that ref, at the very least.

You have to trust the ref's impartiality or the game is over.
