It's one of the oldest pieces of gamesmanship in rugby - pat your opponent on the head, shoulders, back or arse and thank them for the penalty they just conceded.

Nothing quite grates like that sarcastic back-slap. 'Well done mate'. 'Cheers'. 'Nice one'. George North knew exactly what would piss Mike Brown off, on Saturday, after the English fullback conceded the winning penalty to Wales. Brown had been swallowed up on the turf and, caught out in his own half, gave away the penalty.
