Stankovich: Cited for dangerous tackle

Leicester's Boris Stankovich has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle against Bath, while two London Irish players also have a case to answer.

Faan Rautenbach has been charged with striking an opponent during the Exiles' match at Gloucester and Chris Hala'ufia with a dangerous charge into an opponent, having been sin-binned during the game for a high tackle on Olly Morgan.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have appealed against a four-week suspension handed to James Hudson on October 3 for an alleged dangerous tackle.

The citings will be heard in London on Monday while Hudson's appeal will be heard in Brighouse on Tuesday.
