It was one of those tackles that was hard to call, even with the benefit of several replays.
Cane's shoulder clearly collided with Henshaw's jaw, but the initial contact may well have been below the Leinster man's shoulder, though even that was in dispute and replay after replay failed to definitively clear that up.

At the same time referee Jaco Peyper, after consultation with his TMO, awarded a penalty to Ireland so a boundary must have been crossed. Why else was Cane penalised?
But this boundary was not crossed far enough, it would seem, to show the All Black a red card or even send him to the sin bin.
It was a decision that infuriated many Ireland fans on Twitter.
