Wasps disciplinary update

Wasps' Scott Barrow (Backs Transition Coach) and Pete Atkinson (Head of Performance) will appear before an independent disciplinary panel tonight (Tuesday 19 October 2021).

Both individuals have been charged with conduct prejudicial to the interests of the union and the game, contrary to RFU Rule 5.12, after they were ordered from the field of play by referee Wayne Barnes during the match Wasps v Exeter Chiefs on Saturday 16 October 2021.
 

Barrow for interfering with play by back heeling the ball away from the pitch and blocking an Exeter Chiefs player from retrieving the ball in the second half of the match.
 

Atkinson for comments made towards the referee following a try by Exeter Chiefs in the first half of the match.
 

The independent disciplinary panel will be chaired by Mike Hamlin with Gareth Graham and Mitch Read.
