Welsh Rugby Union halt Phillips suspension

Mike Phillips’ indefinite suspension from Wales squad duties has ended.

The 28-year-old was banned “with immediate effect” on June 17 following allegations of an incident involving the scrum-half in Cardiff city centre.

However, Phillips met Wales Rugby Union bosses today and apologised, leading to a statement from the WRU which confirmed he would be allowed to return to the squad and take part in World Cup training from tomorrow.
