The shove resulted in players from both sides running in afterwards but referees decided it was only fair to award Argentina a penalty which saw them reduce the deficit to four points. Brouhaha: Nick Phipps started a melee when he pushed over an Argentinian medic who was approaching the ball. Credit:Warren Little On Sunday the SANZAAR citing commissioner issued a warning to Phipps, but stopped short of citing him for foul play. On one hand Phipps could count himself lucky not to be shown a yellow card, however there were other people who argued the medic should not have been on the field - a view shared somewhat by Wallabies coach Michael Cheika. "I'm not quite sure what went down to be honest. No one was injured," Cheika said. "Nick's probably trying to get the ball, I really don't know what was going through anyone's minds. The ref dealt with it on the field. It's probably a rare situation that you get, so he just dealt with it the best he could.

"It happens once in a blue moon." Cheika also referenced an incident during Australia's first Test of the year against England when Wallabies assistant coach Nathan Grey was pushed by Mike Brown. Brown attempted to catch a ball and at the same time Grey, while standing in his marked box, tried to disrupt the catch in order to make sure England would not be able to take a quick throw-in. "The English fullback had a crack at one of our staff because he put his arm out for the ball," Cheika said. "It happens, it's usually a miscommunication or heat of the moment."
