"It seems Dan Carter got a €1000 fine [$1682] which to be honest is at the lower end of what the judge could have given...you generally expect a €4000 [$6728] to €4500 [$7569] fine. In October, Carter told Radio Sport's Martin Devlin he felt "sick" about what happened. It actually made me feel sick and it makes me feel sick now, thinking and talking about it.
