Tadhg Beirne will face no further punishment for the controversial red card he received early on in Ireland's loss to the All Blacks at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday night.

Beirne was initially shown yellow for his clash with All Blacks out-half Beauden Barrett by referee Pierre Brousset, but the offence was then upgraded to a 20-minute red card after a bunker review.
