THREE HITS THAT SPARKED STORM

17 MINS HOOPER ON BIGGAR: Australian captain Michael Hooper hits Dan Biggar late when the fly-half doesn’t have the ball. TMO Ben Skeen and referee Romain Poite decide it’s a penalty but not a card. Poite: ‘There is nothing dangerous but No 7 could do differently.’ Hooper: ‘I knew I hit him low, I found it tough to pull out. That’s the thing with slow-mo, slow-mo can make it look like anything. I think that was pretty fair in the end.’

35 MINS KEREVI ON PATCHELL (left): Samu Kerevi runs into Rhys Patchell and smashes him with his forearm. After a three-and-a-halfminute TMO deliberation it is decided his arm initially hit Patchell in the chest and then slid up to the throat. Hooper says to Poite: ‘That’s terrible tackle technique from him (Patchell). We can’t carry if that’s going to be the ruling.’ Poite: ‘Just reckless. Not deliberate foul-play.’ Penalty.

50 MINS ADAMS ON NAISARANI: Wales wing Josh Adams catches Australia No 8 Isi Naisarani high. Penalty, not a card, after a minute-and-a-half review. Poite: ‘The level of danger is low. But it is height. Please tackle lower.’ Adams: ‘Personally I didn’t think I was hitting him high. He seemed fine and got straight back up.’
