Rugby star spared jail for drunken attack on man
The 33-year-old pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court yesterday to assault causing harm to a man who received a single punch in the face during an incident at Harcourt Street in the city centre on April 4, 2011.
The blow, described by a defence lawyer as a “pent-up lapse of judgment”, happened after the former Leicester winger got drunk partying with team-mates and Leinster players.
