McGeechan disappointed with Leslie outcome

Scotland coach Ian McGeechan has expressed his disappointment at the outcome of Martin Leslie’s appeal hearing in Sydney today even though the back-row forward had his sentence cut by a third.

Though the three-man disciplinary panel still found Leslie guilty of kneeing Jason Keyter in the head during Scotland’s win over the USA on October 22, they decided to reduce the record 12-week suspension originally handed down to eight.
