Rugby lock gets early bath for YouTube punchFan's vid prompts three-week banPublished Wednesday 12th March 2008 10:03 GMT The Rugby Football Union has banned Bristol lock Gareth Llewellyn for three weeks after he admitted whacking Bath prop David Barnes during Bath's 19-9 defeat of Bristol on 2 March - an incident rather ill-advisedly posted on YouTube by a delighted Bristol fan: The vid was apparently spotted by Bath supporters and subsequently came to the attention of RFU citing officer Budge Pountney. Llewellyn expressed his regret over the incident, and wished Barnes "a full and speedy recovery" from his unspecified injuries. ® 8 comments posted — Comment period finished This is rugby not footballPosted: 10:50 12th March 2008 DurrPosted: 11:21 12th March 2008 Nah...Posted: 12:38 12th March 2008 "and wished Barnes "a full and speedy recovery" from his unspecified injuries."Posted: 16:02 12th March 2008 This is rugby not footballPosted: 16:36 12th March 2008
