ERC to probe Evans substitution

HARLEQUINS are at the centre of a Heineken Cup investigation following their quarter-final clash against Leinster last weekend.

Tournament chiefs are to look into circumstances surrounding the second-half blood substitution of Quins replacement Tom Williams and fly-half Nick Evans’ resulting return to the playing field in the 6-5 loss.

Evans limped off in the 47th minute, before his replacement Chris Malone went off injured.
