Wasps RFC determined to get Nathan Hughes suspension lifted.

Wasps will appeal against the three-week ban issued to Nathan Hughes, but their protest will not enable the back row to play in Sunday’s Champions Cup quarter-final against Toulon.

The club have said in a statement they will appeal on the grounds the incident that left Northampton wing George North unconscious and resulted in a red card for Hughes was an accident and no foul play had occurred.

With the hearing scheduled to be heard next Friday, it means Hughes can not be reprieved in time to face the reigning European champions in Toulon this weekend.

Hughes was given the suspension – to include three meaningful fixtures – after being found guilty of striking North in the 52-30 Aviva Premiership defeat at Franklin’s Gardens on March 27.
