Wallabies skipper James Horwill still does not know whether he will play in Saturday night’s series decider against the British and Irish Lions, with the decision to be announced at 1pm AEST.

Canadian arbitrator Graeme Mew is yet to hand down his decision on Horwill’s rucking incident from the first Test after conducting a three-and-a-half hour appeals hearing last night.

The Wallabies second-rower had been cleared of the charge nine days ago but was made to face the music again after the International Rugby Board appealed his not guilty verdict.

Mew has spent more than 12 hours on the complex decision, following the IRB’s appeal to its own judicial officer’s findings.
