    Welsh Prop arrested for assault and held without bail.

    Exeter and Wales prop Craig Mitchell has been remanded in custody after allegedly knocking a man unconscious in a Brisbane bar following the British and Irish Lions’ 23-21 win over the Wallabies last Saturday night.
    The incident occurred in the Normandy Hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning, with Mitchell reportedly attacking a man who later required stitches below his eye and cheek.
    The man, who has been identified by the ABC as Cian Healy, was reportedly attempting to calm down an argument between a group of his friends and Lions fans.
    Mitchell was in Australia having completed a two-Test series in Japan with the Welsh national team.
    The 27-year-old admitted to assault occasioning bodily harm in a Brisbane magistrates’ court.
    He had his application for bail revoked in the after magistrate Anne Thacker expressed concerns about the former Ospreys prop’s ability to pay compensation at short notice.
    Mitchell is due to be sentenced today.

    over and done with, unless the IRB appeals the sentence!!

    note they got the victim's name wrong - Cian Barry not Cian Healy.
    And Normanby not Normandy

    Exeter and Wales prop Craig Mitchell has been given a six month suspended sentence following an incident in a Brisbane bar after the British and Irish Lions' victory last weekend.

    The 27-year-old was arrested on Sunday morning after knocking lawyer Cian Barry unconscious at the Normanby Hotel.

    Mitchell was fined $1,800 and ordered to pay the victim $3,000 compensation.

    He has since apologised but Mr Barry says Mitchell should have been jailed.
