Hines gets one-week ban after citing

BRITISH and Irish Lion Nathan Hines, pictured, has received a one-week ban that will rule him out of contention for the second Test against South Africa in Pretoria.

The Scotland forward was cited for a dangerous tackle on Emerging Springboks’ lock Wilhelm Steenkamp during Tuesday night’s drawn game at Newlands.

Hines was represented by Richard Smith QC, while Lions manager Gerald Davies and head coach Ian McGeechan were also present at a hearing in Cape Town.
