Leicester Tigers' Nicholas Malouf to face independent disciplinary panel
Tuesday 27 March 2018 11:46, UK
Leicester Tigers' Nicholas Malouf is due to appear before an independent disciplinary panel on Tuesday.
Malouf was cited by independent citing commissioner Paul Hull for an alleged dangerous tackle on Wasps' Christian Wade.
The incident, in the 20th minute of Leicester's narrow 16-15 win against Wasps on Sunday, earned the winger a yellow card.
Malouf's hearing will take place on Tuesday evening in Coventry. The panel will be chaired by John Brennan with Ruth Middleton and one other to be confirmed.
Leicester's win, despite losing both Malouf and Telusa Veainu to the sin bin during the match, moved the Tigers up to fifth in the Aviva Premiership, four points behind Wasps but still 14 points behind runaway leaders Exeter.
