He paid the price for poor head placement during a tackle on Will Skelton.
And the incident lit the blue touch paper for a brief scuffle between irate Lions players and their Aussie counterparts.
Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and no serious blows were thrown.
After receiving treatment from the Lions' medical staff, Ryan was placed on a stretcher taken off the pitch.

And a matter seconds later he was followed by his team-mates as the match was halted due to adverse weather conditions.

Josh Honohan delighted Shamrock Rovers have hit a big game fixture pile-up
Josh Honohan loves the biggest occasions and so is relishing the jam-packed schedule facing Shamrock Rovers at this vital stage of the season. The Premier Division table-toppers travel to the Brandywell to face third placed Derry City this evening (7pm), then make the trip to Kosovo for Thursday's Europa Conference League third qualifying round first leg against FC Ballkani. Between last Thursday's second qualifying round second leg in Tallaght against St Joseph's and the FAI Cup third round clash with Longford Town on August 17, the Hoops are pencilled in for six games in 18 days.

"If we do well over the next couple of weeks we'll have the cup, we'll have the league and hopefully have a good European campaign. "That's why you want to come to this club, though. You want to be busy. If you're not busy you're not probably doing well. We're used to it now over the last couple of years and there's a good bit of experience in that dressing room. We'll be ready for it. "It's just more focus on one game at a time. Derry are up towards the top of the table, they're a really good team, they're always challenging. They don't just have a really good team, they have a really good squad. Josh Honohan at Ireland training in June (Image: ©INPHO/Ryan Byrne) "Sunday's a big game but it's the same aim - whatever game we play we go out there to get three points and there'll be no difference on that." Honohan's performances last season as Rovers made history by becoming the first Irish side to qualify for the knock-out stages of a European tournament earned him an Ireland squad call-up. The 24-year-old is hungry for Stephen Bradley's side to get back to the big stage. "You want to do that as a footballer," he said. "It's a big reason why I wanted to come here. It's an opportunity that we'll hopefully get. Obviously, we'll have a couple of rounds to win to get to that stage that we did last year. "That's a big reason why you want to play when you're younger, to go to Vienna, to go to Sparta Prague, to go to Chelsea - those experiences are really, really positive. I'll probably reflect on it more when my career is finished. "Every game is a big game but obviously the European games are big games, we're playing against top opposition. I want to do well in every game that I play. "The European games, they're really good teams and if we do well in the next couple of games we'll be playing against some top opposition like we did last year. I set a standard and it's up to me to meet that standard, no matter what game it is." Bradley made a host of changes for the second leg against St Joseph's on Thursday after the Hoops cantered to a 4-0 victory in Gibraltar. Honohan insists that the stalemate at home won't affect his team's momentum. Josh Honohan (Image: ©INPHO/Ryan Byrne) "It's probably just one of those games where sometimes we were just looking for that goal," he said. "I definitely thought we were a much better team on the night. It will be full focus on Sunday. "It was actually a tough enough game. A good bit of credit has to go to them, they dug in and they defended really well. The main aim before the tie started was to go through and we've done that." On a lighter note, he is delighted that another Corkman has been added to the house he is sharing with Rory Gaffney, Lee Grace, John McGovern, Matt Healy and Ed McGinty. Even more so because the new arrival is his 19-year-old brother, Callum. "Yeah, it's good now," he smiled. "We haven't been fighting too much! I told him to bring up the PlayStation, so we're not fighting. "He's settled in really well. I'm full of faith that he'll be a really big player for the club in the future. He's a really good player now but he's got a lot of potential. That's a big reason why he came up here, to fulfil that potential."

Kelsey Leonard lands second-round stoppage win in first professional fight
Kelsey Leonard landed a second-round stoppage victory in her first professional fight in Belfast on Saturday night. The Naas native faced English fighter Kira Carter at Girdwood Community Hub in Belfast with several Irish boxers on the card. The 26-year-old stepped back into the ring following defeat to Michaela Walsh at the National Elite Competition in June, but it didn't take long for her to snatch a first professional win. READ MORE:Ireland warm up for Rugby World Cup with comeback win in Cork READ MORE: Madie Gibson stars as impressive Athlone Town progress in Champions League It was an assured performance from the off as Leonard applied early pressure and was constantly on the front foot in the first of four planned rounds. She landed a couple of good body shots and was well in control before round two brought an early end to the fight as a strike knocked Carter to the ground, and after being checked by the referee, the white towel came in from Carter's team. The Kildare boxer spoke to TG4 after the win: 'Really happy. Excited the journey has finally started, it was a bit cagey in the first round, just trying to get a feel of everything. It was very different, so I'm happy with it.' She added: 'I'm happy with the outcome, Kira is a good opponent, so, I did have those nerves coming in, she has a lot of good wins in her career, she hadn't been stopped many times either, it was a tough opponent but, once I trusted in myself and put the pressure (it came off).' Asked what she wants next, Leonard said: 'I want to get used to the professional scene as much as I can, get as many fights as I can and work my way up this year and see where it goes.' 'That would be the ideal slot,' Leonard said when asked about fighting on Michael Conlan's undercard later this year. 'We've had that vision, so, hopefully after that performance, I'll be looking towards that.' Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email .

Bruno Fernandes is now a square peg in a round hole… Man Utd should do all they can to sell £100m captain
MANCHESTER UNITED are set to be offered a second chance to make what would be the right decision — selling Bruno Fernandes. But the fear of creating instability just as 6 Bruno Fernandes rejected a move to Saudi Arabia earlier this summer Credit: Getty 6 Ruben Amorim could deploy the captain in a new role this season Credit: AFP Play Dream Team now! Play The Sun Dream Team ahead of the 2025/26 season Free to play Over £100,000 in total prize money Play in Mini Leagues against your mates Submit a team for Gameweek 1 to enter £5,000 prize draw Fernandes is more than just the Red Devils' captain — he is also their best player AND the glue that binds the dressing room together. No wonder so many supporters and team-mates celebrated when the Portuguese midfielder Old Trafford . Fernandes remains the heartbeat of the squad, a role he carries out with diligence and duty. But with boss Amorim having spent £127.5m to buy two starters who will fill Bruno's best position, it has forced him into a deeper role that fits him like boots three sizes too small. READ MORE ON MAN UTD If the 30-year-old did go to current suitors Al-Nassr , it would offer a chance to make Amorim's rebuild even more permanent. In truth, it might have been better for everyone if Fernandes had packed his bags earlier this summer following Al-Hilal's £100m bid. But while the likes of Manchester City or BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Most read in Football 6 Fernandes was outstanding in the first game of their Premier League Summer Series, the 2-1 win over Jersey last Sunday. He converted their fifth-minute penalty opener, curled in the second and linked up with £62.5m new recruit Sesko wants Man Utd move as Villa block Watkins exit | Transfers Exposed It was Fernandes at his best, playing as one of the two attackers behind the No 9, getting on the ball in the areas where he could cause problems and revelling in the responsibility. Behind the scenes, too, as Amorim's new approach appears to be bearing fruit, the skipper has been integral. Fernandes and Harry Maguire are viewed as leaders and key influencers , with the Portugal international a social butterfly who can bond and interact with all the players and other club staff. But even though Bournemouth in Wednesday's 4-1 victory in Chicago , Fernandes' return to a deeper role signalled issues that may become hard to control. In signing Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo and targeting RB Leipzig's That means Fernandes will have to play as one of the two deeper midfielders in Amorim's preferred 3-4-2-1 wing-back system. A position where his attacking instincts, the things that make him stand out, will have to be tempered, to avoid leaving the other central midfielder, either Manuel Ugarte or the experienced-but-leg-weary Casemiro, horribly exposed. 6 Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha will be the main support for the central striker Credit: Getty Amorim recognises he may be taking out some of his captain's effectiveness. But he said: 'I really like when Bruno has the ball. 'Last year I felt that sometimes I pushed him back to have more possession in the build-up and then we missed Bruno near the box. 'But we miss Bruno sometimes when he's playing as a No 10 but there are times when he's playing there and can't get the ball. 'He runs a lot and has a lot of endurance. He's smart and ready for the physicality, playing deep or as a midfielder.' Fernandes is a goalscorer and a goal threat. He will not be as effective from deeper. 6 Alternatively, his desire to get forward and impact the game could result in a lack of positional discipline, a flaw which opposing managers will swiftly jump on. Amorim tried to paint a different picture, arguing that with his side now having more thrust and dynamism going forward: 'If you have a player with the quality of Bruno, without pressure on the ball, it gives us more options.' Yet if United had banked Al-Hilal's £100m — and Al-Nassr may bideven more — they might have landed a more natural and defence-minded option to fill the void. Round pegs, round holes. Amorim's system relies on wing-backs providing width but the danger is them being caught out of defensive position, with the onus on the central midfielders to cover any shortcomings. That is not Fernandes' prime asset. Had he chosen Saudi in June, it would have left broken hearts . Doing it now might cause despair. Yet, perhaps, getting cash to spend would be better for the club — presuming they use it wisely. 6
