Delon Armitage forced to wait for result of ban appeal

Toulon full-back Delon Armitage must wait until today to find out the outcome of his appeal against the 12-week ban issued for using abusive language after his hearing was adjourned.

Armitage was found to have directed a foul-mouthed tirade at Leicester supporters in the aftermath of Toulon’s 25-21 Champions Cup defeat at Welford Road on December 7.

The three-man appeal panel met in London last night and chose to delay their verdict overnight.
