This Paul Gabrillagues yellow card vs New Zealand was a controversial moment from France’s first test vs the All Blacks at Eden Park on 9 June, 2018. The game was tied at 11-11 when referee Luke Pearce sent French lock Gabrillagues to the sin bin for an alleged high tackle on Ryan Crotty, and it proved to be a vital turning point in the game. The tackle, as later seen, wasn’t worthy of a yellow, but ref Pearce gave the yellow without checking it with the TMO. New Zealand eventually won 52-11
