The New Zealand Rugby Union Appeal Council will hear an appeal by the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Football Union next Monday 27 August.
The Hawke’s Bay RFU has appealed against the 10-week suspension imposed by a NZRU Judicial Committee on player Clint Newland last week.
The NZRU Appeal Council hearing will be held at the NZRU offices in Wellington, starting at 10am.
The Appeal Council will be made up of Southland lawyer and rugby administrator John Pringle (Chairperson), former NZRU President and All Blacks Coach Peter Burke, Wellington lawyer Stephen Ward and Bruce Squire QC who has been co-opted by the Appeal Council to assist in considering the appeal. |
