    Nice to see Beauden taking notes from Sexton.

    Missed the game, what was the card for? See Heaslip echoing the sentiment here.

    A bit of context, NZ had just won a scrum penalty and as the front rows were getting up Latu pushed Harris so that is what sparked the series of pushes. It probably is a soft yellow but Latu was stupid to react the way he did.

    He shoved the bloke in the face. Idiotic in the extreme and he can have no complaints.

    I mean, it's a strike to the face.

    I’d agree that the kiwi should have walked too in that instance, but retaliation has always been viewed more harshly for some reason.

    It's open handed yeah, but it's to the face and it's retaliation, and mostly, it's very clear and obvious. Very silly from Latu but a yellow probably fair. If the hand had been closed it would have been a straight red.

    Loving reading the reaction to the match from the Aussie's. Some serious whinging going on.

    Their biggest grievance seems to be about the yellow card, not because it is a harsh yellow, but because Taylor started it.

    I watched the incident back, and Taylor actually gets a slap in the face straight after the scrum, which is why he goes and pushes the Aussie, getting another hand to the face. It does beg the question, should Taylor have been carded because he was initially retaliating? What's the punishment for retaliating to retaliation?

    It doesn't really matter in this case about who was retaliating - it was the fact one of the pushes was to the face that was the problem.
