Brennan pulls no punches on rugby return when ban lifts

CONTROVERSIAL Irish rugby star Trevor Brennan has revealed he would like to get back on the playing field when his five-year ban from the sport is lifted next year.

The Toulouse player saw his career come to an end in 2007 when he punched a spectator at a game against Ulster — resulting in a life ban, later reduced to five years.

But in an RTÉ documentary, This Sporting Life, to be screened tonight, Brennan, a sporting hero in France, told of his desire to line out again when the ban is lifted at the start of 2012.
