Worcester's Delport wins appeal
By Graeme Mair
Worcester full back Thinus Delport has successfully appealed against his first yellow card against London Irish last Saturday.
The South African was dismissed by referee Wayne Barnes for two yellow cards during the 12-10 defeat but has won an appeal against the first of those, which was given for a high tackle on Exiles winger Delon Armitage
The second yellow card, which led to Delport's dismissal, was for his part in a mass brawl during the second half.
An RFU disciplinary panel, chaired by Robert Horner made the decision after a hearing at the London Bloomsbury Holiday Inn.
Delport is now available for Worcester's three remaining Guinness Premiership games as well as the European Challenge Cup semi-final against Gloucester on April 22.
