Speaking to the media this morning Milford said it was a “heat of the battle” moment.

“Obviously (I regret it). I apologised to him after the game and spoke to him,” he said.

“It was an up and down game at the start. That’s what happens when they keep sending their big boys out.

“You want to do your best to stop them. The heat of the battle got the better of me and a bit of frustration.

“I’m moving forward from that. I’m proud of the boys’ efforts. From start to finish we were pretty good.”
