Ellis handed six-week ban
Dec 19 2008
England international Harry Ellis has been banned for six weeks following a dangerous tackle on New Zealand star Dan Carter.
The Leicester scrum-half admitted the offence when he appeared before an independent disciplinary committee in Dublin on Friday.
Ellis was cited by match commissioner, Iain Goodall, as a result of the incident.
It happened during Leicester's 26-20 Heineken Cup defeat against Perpignan at Stade Aime Giral last Sunday.
Carter was making his debut for the French club after signing a lucrative six-month contract.
