ABs hooker insists he's not guilty of head-butting

10:38 am on 9 November 2010

The All Blacks hooker Keven Mealumu has denied intentionally head-butting the England captain Lewis Moody during last weekend's test at Twickenham.

Mealamu has been cited for the incident, and if he's found guilty he could be ruled out of the rest of the tour.

With Andrew Hore only just recovered from a serious shoulder injury, the inexperienced Hika Elliot is on standby for this weekend's test against Scotland.
