British and Irish Lions

The Wellington flanker was cited for punching replacement Springboks first five-eighth Jaco van der Westhuyzen during a second-half brawl in the pulsating 31-27 win over South Africa at Carisbrook.

A Sanzar judiciary committee has found Collins' punching excessive and disproportionate to the threat from the opponent.

The committee banned Collins from all rugby until September 10, ruling him out of Saturday's Test at Eden Park.

The committee noted Collins was one of the principal antagonists during the melee and continued to punch Van der Westhuyzen even after the South African had fallen to the ground.

Graham Henry must look to defeat Australia in Auckland and claim the Tri-Nations title without one of the most influential players of his campaign.

Waikato loose forward Sione Lauaki is expected to replace Collins, having acted a non-playing replacement at Carisbrook.

The British & Irish Lions will dust themselves down after losing their unbeaten record to the Brumbies and be back at work in a positive frame of mind from Wednesday, according to 2009 Test full back Rob Kearney.

With Tuesday's trip to Canberra next on the agenda for The British & Irish Lions, we take a look back at their last clash with the Brumbies, a match that went right down to the wire.

The British & Irish Lions went to the home of one of the two schools that played fixtures against them on the inaugural tour in 1888 this week, Sydney Grammar School.
