Williams' appeal hearing postponed

Blues lock Ali Williams' appeal against a six week ban for trampling has been postponed until tomorrow.

Williams was due to face the SANZAR Appeal Committee today, but its chairman Jannie Lubbe has been delayed.

The SANZAR judiciary suspended Williams from the Super 12 for stamping on Crusaders captain Richie McCaw earlier this month.

He will appear before the committee tomorrow at 9am, the New Zealand Rugby Union said.

The hearing will be held via teleconference.

The Appeal Committee comprises Lubbe of South Africa, John Freedman of Australia and Chris Morris of New Zealand.
