British and Irish Lions tour manager Andy Irvine says he is eager to move on from the decision to clear James Horwill of stamping.

Irvine also dismissed suggestions that the Lions pushed for an appeal to be made, stating that they had moved on from the incident after the orginal decision to clear the lock. Irvine said: "We had nothing at all to do with requesting the IRB to look at it, we were as surprised as anyone when the IRB said they were going to investigate it. "As far as we're concerned, once the judicial officer gave his decision last week, we were of the view that it was done and dusted. It's really irrelevant as far as we're concerned."
