Wales coach Warren Gatland said: "He is not a dirty player so what's the point in spoiling a semi-final by giving him a red card? I am absolutely gutted about it.
"But we showed great character and if we'd have slotted a goal we might have won the game. But we were down a man against world-class opposition and the fact we had a chance to win just shows the character of our players. I'm really proud of them."
