Jones accepts Cannon ban

AUSTRALIA coach Eddie Jones accepted the two-week ban on hooker Brendan Cannon yesterday for punching but believes All Black players should also have been in the dock.

Cannon was suspended for throwing a punch at his opposite number Keven Mealamu during New Zealand’s 16-7 victory in the tri-nations test in Wellington on Saturday.

“We asked that the judiciary have a look at a number of the other players but they deemed not to take any action,” Jones told a media conference.
