Alan Quinlan

Munster veteran Alan Quinlan is set to appeal his 12-week suspension so that he could play in the British and Irish Lions tour. 

Quinlan was banned until 9 September earlier this week after a disciplinary committee found him guilty of making contact with the eye area of Leinster’s Leo Cullen in the sides’ Heineken Cup semi-final. 

According BBC Sport, Quinlan will attempt to have the ban overturned or shortened so that he could play some part in the tour.
