Skinner: In hot water

Skinner had already been substituted when he was sent off in the 79th minute for allegedly preventing Toulouse from taking a quick lineout.

The 27-year-old former Harlequins captain has been charged by tournament organisers European Rugby Cup Ltd with an act contrary to good sportsmanship "in that he played the match ball illegally in the technical zone".

ERC's disciplinary officer, Roger O'Connor, has also confirmed he is investigating a similar incident in the Harlequins technical zone from earlier in the match.
