Pablo Matera snubs Dane Coles in post match handshakes

Pablo Matera refused to shake All Blacks' hooker Dane Coles' hand after the round four Rugby Championship clash on Saturday.

The Pumas fell to a 53-3 defeat at the hands of New Zealand, just a week on from a famous first win over the All Blacks in New Zealand.

Coles is well known for his sledging and ability to wind players up on the pitch and during the match, the pair did exchange a few words and shoves.

Matera took exception to Coles' actions and simply shoved the hooker when he offered his hand after the match.

 Asked about the situation after the game, Ian Foster quipped:"he didn't shake Colesy's hand? he wouldn't be the first player." and added that "everyone loves Colesy, we know that."
