The usual currency of the Six Nations Championship – predictable team selections mixed with unpredictable added extras, generally of the disciplinary variety – was turned on its head yesterday. Everyone knew by the end of the opening weekend that Bradley Davies, the Wales lock, would be dragged before the bench to answer for the spectacularly dangerous tackle he inflicted on Donnacha Ryan during his side's compelling victory in Dublin, and he was duly cited yesterday. Meanwhile, the France coach Philippe Saint-André sprang the first major surprise of the tournament by stripping out his winning forward pack ahead of Saturday night's meeting with Ireland.
Saint-André, one game into his international coaching career, has relegated the prop Vincent Debaty, the hooker William Servat, the lock Lionel Nallet and the flanker Julien Bonnaire to the bench and called up Jean-Baptiste Poux, Dimitri Szarzewski, Yoann Maestri and Imanol Harinordoquy. It would be stretching a point to suggest that this weakens Les Bleus ahead of a game that has long been talked of as a potential title decider: Poux was a first-choice prop in the side that reached the World Cup final last October while Harinordoquy was one of the stand-out performers in that tournament. But Servat, Nallet and Bonnaire were heavy hitters then and remain so now. They cannot have expected to be victims of a cull, having contributed to the comfortable win over Italy four days ago.
Saint-André was at pains to point out that the demoted players were not objects of blame. "We worked hard in training last week – maybe too hard – and I want to bring some freshness into the team," said the former Gloucester and Sale coach. "There is no sanction here: we're a united squad. But Ireland will offer something different to the Italians and it will be a tough fight for 80 minutes. It is logical to bring in Imanol for the line-outs, and as Louis Picamoles' performance at No 8 was great both defensively and offensively, Harinordoquy will play on the flank."
By comparison, the fallout from the Ireland v Wales game was entirely foreseeable. Davies spent time in the sin bin after taking exception to Ryan's behaviour at a second-half ruck, but not even his own coach, Warren Gatland, expected it to be the end of the story. If the Cardiff Blues forward is available for this weekend's meeting with Scotland after today's disciplinary hearing in London, the whole of Wales will be pleasantly surprised.
Also up before the tribunal will be Stephen Ferris, the Irish flanker. He too was yellow-carded for a tip-tackle, this one on the Wales lock Ian Evans, although in most eyes his offence was lower down the scale of seriousness.

Attention pet owners: You might want to think twice about giving your pets "jerky" treats.
The Food and Drug Administration says since 2007, about 3,600 dogs and 10 cats have reportedly gotten sick after eating pet jerky treats. Five hundred and eighty of them have died. The treats are from China, but shipped worldwide.
>> Read more trending stories
Now, the FDA is asking for pet owners and veterinarians' help in finding the source. The administration says it's conducted more than 1,000 tests, visited multiple manufacturers and more, but still can't put its finger on the problem.
One veterinary pathologist told NBC News, "I think that what it tells us is that the intoxicant is something that we're not used to dealing with as a toxin in North America."
The outbreak is affecting many different brands, but tends to occur most with chicken, duck, sweet potato and dried fruit jerky. Sixty percent of the pets affected have had gastrointestinal illness and 30 percent have seen kidney or urinary problems. (Via Cleveland Plain Dealer)
This most recent scare isn't the first of its kind. The FDA has been warning against the Chinese-based pet food for a while.
Earlier this year, the FDA sent out a similar warning, telling pet owners to be wary of the treats. (Via Mother Nature Network)
"This really is very bad. The Chinese always have these food scandals. They always say it's not going to happen again and then three months later it occurs and you've got all these different types of scandals. This is really a problem because they do not control their food chain." http://www.nbcnews.com/(Via MSNBC)
"In the past year, Chinese food companies have been caught selling rat meat as lamb and selling insecticide tainted foods." (Via WKBW)
The rapidly-developing country has been dealing with food safety concerns for years.
China Daily says, "Illegal additives, poor hygiene and unsafe materials in the manufacturing process were the major concerns of the public in 2012…" according to a study by a Chinese university.
The FDA says a decreased appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea after pets consume the jerky treats could be a sign they've been infected.
