Munster’s Appeal Fails
Munster’s appeal against the four-week suspension handed down to Paul O’Connell, following his red card against the Ospreys, was upheld by an independent ERC Appeals Committee today.
Paul O’Connell and Munster team manager Shaun Payne travelled from Limerick this morning by train to the Dublin offices of Donal Spring where the former Ireland international presented the appeal via conference call through Appeal Chairman Lorne Crerar.
However, the outcome, delivered some two hours later, found in favour of the original sanction.
