"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

In this case the giving of the yellow card would be deemed to have dealt with the offence. Hooper wasn't therefore dealt with on the pitch.
Later on, Farrell was carded for taking out Giteau (without the ball & with minimal arm use) at the same time as Burgess tried to rip Hooper's head off. There's been some comment about Burgess being due a card for that offence and he most probably would have been had Farrell not got in there first!
Not the only suspension people are unhappy with - Tuilagi out for 5 weeks: http://www.rugbydump.com/2015/10/465...panese-tackler
Jannie is a dickhead but his yellow was pretty soft. He'd been warned about cleanouts but there wasn't much in it. Hoopers cleanout was pretty reckless. On the video it actually looks like Hooper put his hand on Brown's shoulder before leading with his shoulder. He should have seen yellow in the game. In the absence of this one week is fair. He probably got his suspension reduced because Mike Brown is also a dickhead.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
