WALES:WALES BACKROW Andy Powell was banned from driving for 15 months yesterday after pleading guilty to driving a golf buggy while unfit through drink.

The 28-year-old was arrested at a motorway service station after Wales had beaten Scotland 31-24 in a dramatic Six Nations clash at the Millennium Stadium.

The Cardiff Blues number eight was taken into custody in the early hours of February 14th near the Wales team hotel in the Vale of Glamorgan.

In a statement yesterday, Powell expressed his remorse over the incident and admitted his actions had made him a poor role model. “I fully accept the decision and sentence of the court,” he said.
