Brennan to face ERC hearing next week

TREVOR BRENNAN will appear at a disciplinary hearing in Dublin next week accused of lashing out at an Ulster fan during a Heineken Cup clash, legal teams agreed yesterday.

The Toulouse forward, who is alleged to have entered a seating area during a match before punching the supporter, was due to attend an independent hearing in Dublin yesterday.

On Wednesday, legal teams for the player won a 24-hour injunction against the hearing at the High Court on the grounds its outcome could prejudice any criminal proceedings in France and affect Brennan’s right to silence.
