So why is he on the squad as captain?
Clearly both IRB tribunals thought otherwise on Horwill. Read the article I linked to whcih explains the process and decisions of both. I watched the game live and there was absolutely no comment about it at the time it occured. Looking at the footage, I'd say he was rucking as he is allowed, but don't think it was definately a deliberate act. If you stick your head in a ruck, expect to get it kicked.
