Ross Ford e Jonny Gray potranno scendere in campo domani pomeriggio nel quarto di finale contro l'Australia, dopo che l'appello della SRU contro la squalifica di tre settimane per "acts of foul play contrary to Law 10.4(j) (dangerous tackles)" è stato accolto.
L'appello si è tenuto stamattina a Londra. L'Appeal Committee, dopo aver rivisto le prove, ascoltato le testimonianze dei giocatori e basandosi sulle immagini a disposizione, ha, usando le parole del comunicato, " dismissed the finding that the players had committed an act of foul play as the player had not been dropped or driven and therefore the tackle was not dangerous. The players are therefore free to play again immediately ".
Vern Cotter, adesso, potrebbe anche pensare di rivoluzionare la squadra comunicata ieri per la sfida di domani a Twickenham.
Mark Dodson, Scottish Rugby Chief Executive, ha così commentato sul sito ufficiale della Scottish Rugby: " We are delighted to see justice has been done. Ross and Jonny are now free to rejoin the tournament, ahead of the biggest game for Scottish Rugby in recent years. We find it hugely disappointing they were put in this position by a judicial process, which is inconsistent and unfair. Justice delayed is justice denied. It is regrettable that this has overshadowed a massive week for the sport and our focus continues to be on the match against Australia. "
