White free for final

Prop available after serving suspension

Last updated: 30th May 2008

Leicester prop Julian White is free to play in the Guinness Premiership final against Wasps.

The former England front row appeared before a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing on Tuesday night and was found guilty of stamping in the Tigers' semi-final win over Gloucester.

The RFU decided to suspend White for one week, but chose to enforce the ban from May 21st to the 27th.

That means White is free to play from Wednesday, making him available for Saturday's Twickenham showpiece.

Stamping usually carries a ban of between four to six weeks but Leicester acted in the immediate aftermath of the incident, suspending White for seven days and fining him £5,000.
