British and Irish Lions captain Alun-Wyn Jones has insisted that he has no problem with Australia skipper James Horwill after he was twice cleared of deliberately stamping on the Welsh lock.
Horwill was cited for the incident which took place in the first Test in Brisbane, but after no action was taken the International Rugby Board appealed the verdict, resulting in a second hearing earlier this week that saw a separate judicial officer agree with the previous ruling.
While Jones admits that the whole incident has been a bit of a distraction, he is adamant that there are no hard feelings between him and the Wallabies man.
"It's become a bit of a sideshow," Jones told reporters.
"I should imagine there will be some red faces somewhere for appealing the initial decision and coming up with the same decision, but that is not for me to comment on.
"I will just get on with it, and I am happy to shake his hand after the game as well."
The two sides meet for the final Test on Saturday in Sydney.
