Driving ban for Ireland and Lions coach Easterby

Driving ban for Ireland and Lions coach Easterby

Ireland’s interim head coach Simon Easterby has been disqualified from driving for six months after being caught speeding.

The former rugby player was caught exceeding the 70mph speed limit on a dual carriageway in Bodmin, Cornwall, last August.

On Monday, Cardiff Magistrates’ Court considered Easterby’s work and family commitments that require him to drive.

Former Scarlets player Easterby, who lives in Vale of Glamorgan, was also told to pay a fine as well as a surcharge.

The court heard the figure came to a total of £1,345 which has to be paid within the next week.

In February, Easterby was linked with the vacant Wales head coach job following Warren Gatland’s dismissal.
