Dane Coles, an All Blacks hooker, got away with using some bad language in front of the referee during a Test match in Dublin in November 2021.
Coles, 35, lost patience with Ireland playmaker Johnny Sexton and waved him away, saying to referee Luke Pearce, “Fuk, he’s a mouthy c**t isn’t he?”
Pearce responded by cautioning the hooker, although other referees would not have taken well to such language.
