Eagles skipper accused of dangerous tackle

USA captain Todd Clever will appear before RWC disciplinary chiefs after he was cited for a dangerous tackle in the 13-6 win over Russia in New Plymouth. Clever appeared to charge into Russian replacement Victor Gresev after the ball had been passed - and although the incident was penalised at the time, the Eagles flanker could now face further sanctions. Independent judicial officer Jeff Blackett will conduct the hearing in Auckland, with the date yet to be confirmed.
