Dan Sheehan, a hooker for the British & Irish Lions, has been suspended for four matches following a foul on Australian fly half Tom Lynagh during the third test in Sydney. The suspension can be reduced to three matches if Sheehan completes a coaching intervention. The incident involved Sheehan's elbow making contact with Lynagh's head, leading to Lynagh failing a head injury assessment and being unable to continue playing. Sheehan initially denied any foul play but later accepted the suspension handed down by an independent foul play review committee, which deemed his actions reckless and dangerous.
