Quinlan to appeal against ban

MUNSTER have confirmed that Alan Quinlan will lodge an appeal following his 12-week ban.

An independent Appeal Committee will convene in Glasgow tomorrow. The independent Appeal Committee will be chaired by Professor Lorne Crerar (Scotland) and also comprise Rod McKenzie (Scotland) and HHJ Jeff Blackett (England).

Quinlan is set to miss the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa after being found guilty of making contact with the eye area of Leinster skipper Leo Cullen during a Heineken Cup semi-final earlier this month.
