It's a lesson learned for Wallabies winger Reece Hodge, whose return from suspension could be a timely one at the Rugby World Cup.
Hodge has had three games off to think about his tackle technique after becoming the first of 11 players at the tournament so far to be banned for high contact.
The 25-year-old's availability may be invaluable given the head knock suffered by Kurtley Beale against Georgia that threatens to sideline the fullback.
Dane Haylett-Petty is the logical fullback if a vacancy opens up, leaving coach Michael Cheika to choose between the proven Hodge, teenage rookie Jordan Petaia or, at a pinch, veteran Adam Ashley-Cooper for the right-wing berth.
Australia will take on England in the first quarter-final at 7.15pm this Saturday while New Zealand will play Ireland in the second quarter-final at 10.15pm Saturday.
