The evergreen prop certainly did his best to make up for it on all fronts.

Beast Mtawarira at the weekend blotted his clean copybook by making a tip tackle on his opposite number from Japan during the World Cup quarterfinal in Tokyo.
As a result, he received the first yellow card of his international career.
But the evergreen 34-year-old prop made up with an energetic performance when he returned and also apologised to Keita Inagaki afterwards.
