Johnny Sexton may have to wait until next week to learn outcome of disciplinary hearing - Decision of the disciplinary tribunal will be communicated to Sexton and Leinster first
Johnny Sexton may have to wait until next week to learn the outcome of the disciplinary hearing into his behaviour at the end of the Champions Cup final. Photograph: Stu Forster/GettyThe outcome of Johnny Sexton’s disciplinary hearing might not be officially revealed until early next week. The Ireland captain had a misconduct complaint lodged against him following his behaviour towards match officials in the wake of Leinster’s Champions Cup final defeat by La Rochelle on May 20th.
Sexton, who celebrated his 38th birthday on Tuesday, did not play in the game at the Aviva Stadium due to injury but made his feelings known to South African referee Jaco Peyper and his match officials on the pitch after the game ended. The Irish Times understands that the decision of the disciplinary tribunal will be communicated to Sexton and Leinster first, presumably in full and in writing, and that any media communique from EPCR would follow in the aftermath. There is a possibility that the process might be expedited, and the outcome made public on Friday, but that it is perhaps less likely.
Sexton’s hearing, by video conference call, before an independent disciplinary panel chaired by Christopher Quinlan KC, began on Thursday morning at 9.0am and continued into the afternoon.
