Iain Henderson was sent to the bin for a dangerous clear-out on Barrett, who landed on his shoulder.
The Lions second row was unlucky – it would have been a regulation clear-out had Jonathan Joseph not lifted Barrett’s other leg.

SOCIAL REACTION:
What a ridiculous yellow when you consider all the no arms challenges the blacks do. Graciously taken by Henderson, no whinges

#HURvBIL Double blow for the Lions this time, Canes get a try moments after Lions lock Henderson receives a yellow card – score is 31-24.

@lionsofficial unlucky for Henderson there. He should already have been off. He’s surely played himself into the test squad. #LionsNZ2017

Outstanding display by locks particularly Henderson. Shame he got yellowed but probably deserved. French refs for final tests key #HURvBIL
