That was Kurtley Beale, right?
Either the Aussies hate us and cite everyone for any reason, or Banahan still hasn't learned to not be a brainless pillock;

Matt Banahan has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle following England's 15-9 victory over the Australian Barbarians.
The England wing has been charged with a "lifting tackle" on the Barbarians centre Berrick Barnes 26 minutes into the game at Bluetongue Stadium in Gosford.
Banahan will face a disciplinary hearing in Sydney overnight, UK time.
England have now had a player cited after all three of their matches on the tour of Australia.
Lock Dave Attwood had two stamping charges thrown out following last Tuesday's 28-28 draw with the Barbarians after England successfully argued the citing commissioner should not have been Australian.
Wing Mark Cueto appeared in front of a hearing in Sydney yesterday and was found not guilty of a dangerous tackle on Barnes in Saturday's Test defeat to the Wallabies.
Banahan is unlikely to be involved in this weekend's second Test anyway but a guilty verdict could officially rule him out of the Sydney clash and England's final tour match against the New Zealand Maori next week.

********. I saw that tackle and he just did a straight forward dump tackle, but then the ref took offence to it for some reason. He didn't lift and drop or anything, it's that Barnes is tiny compared to Banahan, so when he hit him, he could fully lift him and drive back a few steps.
