Prop Ayerza suffers appeal blow

Leicester's Marcos Ayerza will miss the Heineken Cup semi-final against Llanelli Scarlets despite having his suspension for striking reduced.

The Argentine prop was banned for three weeks following an incident with Stade Francais player Remy Martin in Leicester's quarter-final victory.

His ban has now been cut to 18 days but he still misses Saturday's game, as does the injured Martin Castrogiovanni.

Ayerza will be available for the last Premiership game on 28 April.

The Tigers meet Llanelli at the Walkers Stadium, with the winners facing either Wasps or Northampton in the final.

They meet in the second semi-final on Sunday.
