Tom Savage banned for two weeks

Gloucester Rugby forward Tom Savage has been banned for two weeks following an independent disciplinary hearing this morning.

Savage was cited by independent citing commissioner Paul Hull following the match Gloucester Rugby v Sale Sharks on Saturday 29 December 2018. This was for dangerous play in a ruck, contrary to Law 9.20 where Savage was seen to make contact with the head of Robert Du Preez of Sale Sharks. The incident occurred in the second half of the match.

The player accepted the charge and was banned for two weeks. He is free to play again on Tuesday 15 January 2019.
