Mack Hansen has played down Cheslin Kolbe’s dangerous tip tackle that somehow cost the South African full-back only ten minutes in the sinbin.

There were 17 minutes on the clock when Kolbe and Pieter Steph Du Toit combined to stop Hansen in his tracks before the Toulouse player altered his grip and clearly caused the Irish player to go above the horizontal and fall head-down towards the turf.
