Llewellyn and Cockbain in dock

Mar 7 2008 by Andy Howell, Western Mail

FORMER Wales locks Gareth Llewellyn and Brent Cockbain will both appear in the dock on Monday after being accused of foul play.

Ex-Wales captain and Bristol forward Llewellyn has been cited for allegedly striking Bath prop David Barnes during a Guinness Premiership match at Ashton Gate last Sunday.

Llewellyn has been summoned to appear before a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel and will find a familiar face also waiting for judgement – Cockbain.

Australian-born Cockbain, who joined Sale Sharks from the Ospreys earlier this season, has been cited following an alleged stamping incident during Sharks’ Premiership defeat against Worcester Warriors four days ago.

Meanwhile, Worcester’s Wales prop Chris Horsman won’t make his comeback against Leicester tomorrow after hurting his ankle.
