Simon Easterby
Simon Easterby has been handed a six-month disqualification from driving after being caught speeding.
Easterby is the current interim head coach of the Irish rugby team and coach of the English Lions alongside Andy Farrell.
He was caught exceeding a 70mph speed limit on a dual carriageway in Cornwall last August.
On Monday, Cardiff Magistrates’ Court considered Easterby’s work and family commitments that require him to drive.
However, the court decided that this disqualification would not impede the work of Easterby and he was handed the ban.
Former Scarlets player Easterby, who lives close to Cardiff, was also told to pay a fine and a surcharge, coming to a total of £1,345 (€1,583).
He recently joined Andy Farrell’s British and Irish Lions coaching lineup ahead of the teams’ Australian matches this summer.
