Plane awkward for Warburton and Clerc after semi-final dismissal



By Sportsmail Reporter

Sam Warburton caught a flight from Auckland to Brisbane on the way home from the World Cup - seated next to Vincent Clerc, the French winger he 'tip-tackled' to get sent off in the semi-final.



The Wales captain's twin brother Ben tweeted: 'I would have loved to have seen their facial expressions when they first realised. But I don't think Sam would've been too bothered, he probably just repeated that it wasn't a malicious tackle. Clerc would have felt just as awkward.'
