Twitter really enjoyed Richie McCaw’s yellow card

New Zealand opened their World Cup campaign against Argentina - a side they know well from their battles in the Rugby Championship.

But it seems the All Blacks weren't quite prepared for English ref Wayne Barnes, who handed out three yellow cards in the first half - two to New Zealand and one to Argentina. One of those yellows was given to New Zealand captain Richie McCaw after the TMO spotted this deliberate trip: https://twitter.com/ITVRugby/status/645634037000765440 It's safe to say that a lot of people felt that the yellow card was a long time coming for the All Blacks' skipper, who has made a career performing some of the sport's darker arts. https://twitter.com/James_Rudolf/status/645638966725709829 https://twitter.com/Rugbyonslaught/status/645635223691112448 https://twitter.com/andymcgeady/status/645633315953864705 https://twitter.com/andymcgeady/status/645629041794531328 https://twitter.com/RugbyBanterPag3/status/645633486133440512 https://twitter.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/645631048236302336 Some people thought McCaw was lucky to get away with just a yellow. https://twitter.com/Argentina2023/status/645638943988445185 https://twitter.com/JustSportZA/status/645638594930020353
