Leinster chiefs launch probe into O’Byrne Cup biting claim

Leinster disciplinary officials have launched a full investigation into allegations a player was bitten during Dublin’s stormy O’Byrne Cup tie with DCU.

The provincial council’s central competitions control committee met last night amid speculation that they may take action against an individual based on referee David Gough’s official report.

However, it was instead confirmed that a smaller six-man sub committee will be convened to investigate the claims fully.
