Disciplinary: Sean Robinson (Newcastle Falcons)

The case of Newcastle Falcons player Sean Robinson was heard by an independent disciplinary panel on Monday 13 June.  It was chaired by Gareth Graham with Becky Essex and Olly Kohn.  

Robinson received a red card for dangerous tackling contrary to World Rugby Law 9.13 for an incident during the game against Northampton Saints on 4 June.  Robinson accepted the charge and received a three week ban which will be reduced to two weeks if the player completes the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme.
