But the Aussie's agent insisted: "I would be shocked and amazed if Harry said that.
"I've spoken to him since the game, and from what he tells me he caught the bloke's foot.
"If catching the bloke's foot is a dive then Mr Rodrigues should check the definition of what a penalty is.
"He can say what he wants. He has a right to free speech, but Harry is not a diver and never has been. He is not in the diving business.
"I think with these sort of things you should look at a player's previous history, and that pretty much tells you what he is about.
"Australians never normally pick up habits like that anyway. I think this fella Rodrigues is trying to make the best he can out of the situation."
