Toby Knight receives a three-match ban

The case of Toby Knight, Saracens, was heard by an independent panel, chaired by Charles Cuthbert, sitting with Mitch Read and Veryan Boscawen. 

Knight was shown a red card for a high tackle, contrary to World Rugby Law 9.13, during a game against Bath Rugby on Saturday 28th December.

The charge was upheld and Knight received a three-match ban which will be reduced to two if he successfully completes the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme (CIP).
