Ireland hooker Sheehan cited over clearout of Australia's Lynagh during Lions defeat
Leinster and Ireland hooker Dan Sheehan could be facing disciplinary troubles after being cited for an incident during the first half of the British and Irish Lions' wet and wild tour-ending defeat to the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday. The 26-year-old, one of the stand-out performers on Andy Farrell's successful touring side, was cited in the early hours of Sunday morning Down Under over a clear-out which left Australian out-half Tom Lynagh flattened 34 minutes into the third and final Test. Replays appeared to show Sheehan charging in slightly to the side of the ruck and his right elbow making contact with Lynagh's head. The Wallabies playmaker was taken off for a Head Injury Assessment and didn't return. Tom Lynagh flattened by elbow to the head. #AUSvBIL — Jobson Growthe (@electricBAU) August 2, 2025 The game-day officials, including TMO Marius Jonker, opted not to take any action against the No.2, despite howls of accusation from the home supporters when replays of the incident played at Accor Stadium. "British & Irish Lions player Dan Sheehan will have a citing complaint reviewed by an Independent Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) after being cited by the independent citing commissioner Adrien Menez for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.20 (a) (a player must not charge into a ruck or maul…) in the Australia v British & Irish Lions third test in Sydney on Saturday, 2 August," a statement from World Rugby confirmed. "In line with World Rugby's expedited off-field sanction process, Sheehan's case will be considered by the on-duty Independent Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) comprising Wang Shao-ing (chair), Val Toma and Mike Mika on Sunday, 3 August 2025."

Ireland's Dan Sheehan cited for clear-out in Lions third test match
Ireland hooker Dan Sheehan has been cited following a controversial clear-out on Australia fly-half Tom Lynagh during the British and Irish Lions' third Test victory in Sydney. The incident occurred in the second half, when Sheehan entered a ruck and made forceful contact with Lynagh, who was then forced off the field with a head injury. He did not return to play following the hit undergoing a Head Injury Assessment (HIA). Although match officials reviewed the incident at the time and allowed play to continue without sanction, the citing commissioner has since deemed the act potentially dangerous, triggering a disciplinary review.

A ban could affect his availability for Ireland's upcoming fixtures. The incident has divided opinion, with some defending Sheehan's actions as part of the physical demands of Test rugby, while others believe the clear-out was reckless and endangered player safety. It has also reignited wider discussions around ruck technique and head injury protocols. Sheehan has been a key figure for Ireland in recent years and was one of the standout players in the Lions squad. A disciplinary ruling against him would be a blow to Andy Farrell's plans heading into the autumn internationals. More information is expected following the outcome of Sunday's hearing.
