Hines hit with one-week ban



Scottish lock Nathan Hines has been ruled out of the Lions second Test after been hit with a one-week ban for a dangerous tackle in the 13-13 draw against the Emerging Springboks.

The 32-year-old was set to be included in Ian McGeechan's 22 after a below-par performance by the pack in the first Test defeat to the South Africa.

But those hopes have now been dashed for Perpignan's Hines after being cited for a dangerous tackle on opposite number Wilhelm Steenkamp.

Canada's Judicial Officer Alan Hudson found Hines guilty of lifting and dropping Steenkamp in a dangerous manner on Wednesday.

Hines, who was represented by McGeechan, Richard Smith QC and Lions tour manager Gerald Davies, does have the right to appeal the decision.
