I see no one has mentioned negatively the hit on Adam Jones by Ryan, almost exactly like the hit that Bakkies Botha was cited and banned for in Pretoria. In hard and no attempt to bind. More than one source say this was an illegal hit and it was the cataylst for Davies' brainfart. Consistency is the key word here and there is absolutely none whether it be tip tackles or illegal clear outs.”

I don't agree with this bit, he is on his feet he hits the ruck and bind on Jones falls on impact as he is to busy looking the other way, Ryan then binds onto Davies. All the time Ryan is on his feet. It was a hard impact but I don't think that is wrong. I think Botha is an idiot but in that ruck I don't think he deserved the ban.
