No, McGuire isn't a big boy lol. There was nothing doing and Matai was just going to belt him for more or less no reason (NZWarrior reckons there was a knee, I'd say accidental at best- and the ball to the head was a pretty sufficient retaliation). When an opposition player has just (a) thrown the ball at the head of one of your smallest teammates, and (b) is stalking said teammate, about to smash him, despite having already sconed him with the ball, and with little or no provocation, of course you're going to throw one.
