 White was cited for stamping against Gloucester |
Leicester prop Julian White is free to play in the Premiership final against Wasps at Twickenham despite being found guilty of stamping. White appeared before a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel on Tuesday after he was cited in the semi-final win over Gloucester. The offence usually carries a four to six-week ban but the panel suspended White for seven days, from 21-27 May. Leicester's �5,000 fine and seven-day suspension was deemed sufficient. The club-imposed ban meant White missed the game against the Classic All Blacks on 25 May. A club statement had said: "Julian White immediately accepted his guilt of the offence. He has been remorseful and is very sorry that he has let down his team-mates." Christopher Quinlan, assisted by Mike Curling and John Doubleday, were on the RFU panel.
