Premiership - Delve and Stowers banned
Eurosport - Tue, 22 Sep 17:44:00 2009
Gloucester captain Gareth Delve and London Irish back row George Stowers were suspended for three weeks following their brawl at the Madejski Stadium.
The two players came to blows after Stowers's dangerous tackle on Gloucester scrum-half Dave Lewis in the final minute of London Irish's 40-10 victory on September 13.
Stowers received a two-week ban for the tackle and a further one week suspension for striking Delve (pictured), who had reacted to the challenge with a flurry of punches.
Both players are free to play again on October 12 but will miss the first round of Heineken Cup fixtures.

How about permitting Italian teams into the Anglo-Welsh Cup? That way, the game will improve for the Italians as they'll have more professional competition. They are an improving nation but to really help the Six Nations, they need more competitive fixtures. Entering the Magners League is a good start, so why not enter our domestic cup game? Thoughts?
