Delve free to start Heineken Cup

Gloucester number eight Gareth Delve will be available for the start of his side's Heineken Cup campaign against Newport-Gwent Dragons on 9 October.

Delve has had a three-week suspension for striking London Irish's George Stowers at the Madejski Stadium on 13 September reduced to two on appeal.

It means he will miss Sunday's Premiership game at Leeds, but is free to play in the Heineken Cup opener.

Stowers was banned for three weeks for a late tackle and striking an opponent.
