After Joe Schmidt yesterday spoke out strongly against the decision not to cite Paul O'Connell over the incident which left Dave Kearney with a concussion, Leo Cullen has also criticised the decision of Citing Commissioner Eddie Walsh.

Cullen is quoted in today's Irish Times describing the kick as 'extremely reckless' and talked about how his faith in the disciplinary process had 'changed' as a result of O'Connell not being cited. Cullen even went as far to suggest that O'Connell could still be cited.

Cullen's comments are especially interesting given how unusual it is for a rugby player to call for disciplinary measures against a fellow player and in this case, a colleague at international level. Indeed Cullen himself attended a hearing in defence of Alan Quinlan after Quinlan was accused of making contact with his eyes.
