DRAGONS defence coach Colin Charvis has appeared in court this morning, charged with drink-driving.

The former British and Irish Lions rugby player was pulled over by police and arrested on October 4 following a night out in Cardiff.

The 36-year-old, who was capped in the back row for Wales 94 times and scored 22 international tries, admitted the offence and has received a 24 month ban.

More details to come.
