However, had he been shown a red, a ban would have followed, which could have had a major bearing on the rest of the series. It came in the 75th minute with Ireland on the line of the All Blacks. Barrett launched into opposite man Peter O’Mahony, and was immediately penalised by referee Karl Dickson for a no-arms clearout, which it was, but it was much worse than that. This is concerning a clearout by All Blacks flanker Scott Barrett late in the second half against Ireland on Saturday at Eden Park.

Ref Karl Dickson was standing two metres away as New Zealand flanker Scott Barrett jumped the gun and drove his shoulder into the head of Peter O'Mahony.

It was a thumping 23-point win and Ireland have physical and mental wounds to heal before the Second Test. As it transpired, Scott Barrett was allowed top play on. A penalty eventually came Ireland's way, but Barrett was allowed to play on.

The All Blacks overcame a slow start to beat Ireland 42-19 crossing for six tries to three and showing some stout resilience in the…

He had a chip and chase and managed to push the ball back for Ardie Saves to storm up in support and score. It’s always challenging coming in with sort of 10 days preparation to face this match. It’s a good start today for sure. Ofa Fainga’anuku drove close before Aaron Smith’s crisp delivery cut out Beauden Barrett and found Jordie Barrett for the AB’s opener. Ireland could have easily gone further ahead but for a crucial intervention by Beauden Barrett. If the referee somehow misses this – which by some inexplicable miracle he did – then the TMO shouldn’t. The compression of the neck is sickening.

One of the big talking points from the first Ireland v New Zealand Test tonight at Eden Park was how English referee Karl Dickson refereed the breakdown and ...

He’s on top of his game.” O'Mahony's neck buckles under the weight of the tackle. Scrum was a great battle as well. But look three Test...we spoke about it before and it's just a great honour to be here. Plenty to work on from our side."

New Zealand flanker Scott Barrett avoided punishment despite hitting Peter O'Mahony with a dangerous no-arms high clear-out tackle.

The dangerous hit occurred right in front of referee Karl Dickson - who had been a source of frustration for O'Mahony during the contest. O'Mahony, who was trying to claim possession from the ruck, received a highly-physical blow to the back off his head and neck as a result of the hit, before falling to his back. Barrett, guilty of wreckless play in the past, shouldered through the head and neck of O'Mahony with a forceful no-arms tackle at the breakdown.

A questionable clearout by Scott Barrett in the dying moments of the All Blacks' emphatic victory over Ireland in Auckland could see the back row facing a ...

One account observed: “Had niggling doubt about the SA TMO interpretations earlier. But not even calling attention of Ref to Barret no arms shoulder on O’Mahony? Have the laws changed, is this not dangerous play and usually called for a red card anymore?” How is Scott Barrett not getting a card for that shot on O'Mahony?
