Munster flanker Alan Quinlan must now wait until tomorrow to learn his fate following an appeal against a six-week stamping ban handed down to him before Christmas.

The appeal hearing resumed in Dublin today having been adjourned last Wednesday but the three-man independent appeal committee have retired to consider their verdict.

"The committee will communicate their decision to both parties tomorrow," a statement read.

Quinlan (32) was deemed guilty under law 10.4(b) following an incident during the Heineken European Cup round-four victory over Cardiff at Thomond Park last month.

The Irish international admitted the offence, hoping for a shorter suspension, but the three-man disciplinary committee imposed a six-week ban.

As things stand Quinlan is unavailable for the next two rounds of the European Cup, away to Bourgoin this weekend and at home to Leicester on January 20th.
