Wed 11 Nov 2008Three-week ban rules Quinlan out of Argentina tie
Alan Quinlan will miss Ireland's vital game against Argentina on Saturday after he received a three-week ban for stamping at a disciplinary hearing in Dublin tonight. The Munster flanker was cited by the IRB independent commissioner for an offence on All Black number eight Rodney So'oialo during last Saturday's game at Croke Park.
The IRB's judicial officer for the match, Professor Lorne Crerar of Scotland "deemed the player's act of stamping in contravention of Law 10.4(b) (a player must not stamp or trample on an opponent) and should have merited a red card."
