Domestic violence charges against a rugby international were adjourned when a status hearing was not ready to proceed in the Christchurch District Court today.
The player appeared before Judge Brian Callaghan who remanded him on bail for a new hearing on September 25.
The man denies the charges of assaulting a woman, possession of an offensive weapon, and threatening to kill.
He was granted temporary name suppression when the case was called on August 21, but has sought to extend that suppression by lodging an appeal in the High Court.
That appeal hearing is scheduled to be heard on Thursday.
