Connacht’s Flavin Escapes Ban
An IRFU disciplinary hearing was held in Dublin on Wednesday to consider a citing against Connacht hooker Adrian Flavin for an alleged incident of stamping during the Ospreys v Connacht Magners League match last Saturday.
After considering all of the available evidence, the disciplinary panel decided that the citing complaint was justified.
However, it was felt by the panel that while the citing was justified the incident itself did not warrant a red card and therefore no sanction was imposed upon the player. The verdict means that Adrian Flavin is free to continue to play.
