[QUOTE="coonor, post: 395493, member: 39776"] You are exactly right. IRB rules state that retaliation to any infringement (e.g. Nyanga's obstruction) is offence that must be punished. O'Brien striked Nyanga's face and therefore should have had atleast a yellow and probably a red. However I do think that the jury will sympathise with O'Brien considering he could have stopped what may have been the winning try in the Heineken cup semi final and he was trying to stop player from illegally holding him back.
