Alun Wyn Jones and his Wales team-mates were left stunned by referee Angus Gardner's decision to yellow card him in this summer when 'he apparently did nothing wrong.'
However, a new angle of the incident shared on Reddit, shows the whistleblower clearly got it right.
"Sorry Angus, I was one of the Bok supporters who thought you got that one wrong," wrote one fan.
Another commented: "Well that just goes to show how important the camera angle is."
"Alun Wyn Jones.. you cheeky bugger, you! Makes his total shock even more funny if he did actually touch it like this suggests," a third added.

#1. Paul O'Connell
- Born October 20, 1979, Limerick
- Major teams British and Irish Lions, Munster, Ireland
- Caps 115
- Position Lock
The Irish second row was certainly blessed with special rugby powers having been one of the world’s leading tight forwards for more than a decade. A three-times Lions who captained the tour of South Africa in 2009.
Alun Wyn Jones said: "We got to know each other very well as team-mates with the Lions and opponents for our clubs and countries. You cannot shy away from how effective the guy was in his position.”
Did you know? O'Connell initially excelled at swimming and only started playing rugby at the age of 16

#2. Bakkies Botha
- Born September 22, 1979, Newcastle, Natal
- Major teams Barbarians, Blue Bulls, Bulls, South Africa A, Toulon, South Africa
- Position Lock
The second row enforcer in South Africa’s World Cup winning team of 2007, this was a man you didn’t mess around with. Rounded off his career with three European Cup wins with Toulon.
Jones said: "He revelled in it didn't he. Physically he has to be up there. Let's just say he was able to keep the tradition going of the hardest of South African second rows. It was simply brutal."
Did you know? Botha is the only player in the history of rugby union to date to have won a hat trick of Super Rugby and European rugby titles

#3. Justin Harrison
- Born April 20, 1974, Sydney, NSW
- Major teams Australia A, Barbarians, Bath Rugby, Brumbies, New South Wales Waratahs, Ulster, Australia
- Caps 34
- Position Lock
Harrison, who has a fierce feud with former England international Austin Healey, was almost better known for his larger than life personality than his rugby. A veteran of the 2003 Rugby World Cup, he spent the later years of his career with Ulster and Bath.
Jones said: "Away from the physical side, banter-wise it would have to be Aussie lock Justin Harrison. He was interesting to play against to say the least."
Did you know? He is currently the head of the Australian Rugby Union Players Association (RUPA)
