Horwill cleared

AUSTRALIA captain James Horwill was cleared yesterday of stamping during the first rugby test against the British and Irish Lions in Brisbane. Horwill was cited over an incident involving Lions lock Alun Wyn Jones in the third minute of Saturday's match in Brisbane and asked to attend a disciplinary hearing in Melbourne. "After hearing all the evidence I could not find that when James Horwill's right foot came into glancing contact with Alun Wyn Jones' face, that he, Horwill, was acting recklessly," judicial officer Nigel Hampton said in a statement. The Lions won the first test in the three-match series 23-21.
