Scotland star Nick De Luca handed 13-week ban

Nick de Luca's season looks to be over after being banned following a dangerous tackle during Edinburgh's match against Ospreys.
Nick de Luca's season looks to be over after being banned following a dangerous tackle during Edinburgh's match against Ospreys.

Scotland and Edinburgh centre Nick De Luca has been handed a 13-week ban for a dangerous tackle which should see him ruled out until the end of the season.

An independent RaboDirect PRO12 disciplinary committee ruled De Luca should serve the suspension following his dismissal against the Ospreys last Friday. De Luca, who has 38 caps for Scotland, has the right to appeal.

De Luca was playing for the second time following his return from surgery on a fractured eye socket suffered in training in January, an injury which had meant he was expected to miss the RBS 6 Nations.

De Luca was sanctioned following a tip-tackle on Ospreys scrum-half Tom Grabham during Edinburgh’s loss at the Liberty Stadium.

l Glasgow captain Alastair Kellock has been released from the Scotland camp so he can lead out his club side for tomorrow’s RaboDirect PRO12 meeting with Cardiff.

The Warriors welcome the Welsh outfit to Scotstoun hoping to record their seventh league win on the bounce and keep the pressure up on leaders Ulster after beating them 20-14 last week.

The Warriors are second in the RaboDirect PRO12, three points behind Ulster.
