NEWS: Saracens flank Toby Knight has been slapped with a three-match foul play ban.

Knight faced a disciplinary 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 last Saturday, December 28.

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

January 4: v Bristol Bears (Premiership)
January 11: v Munster (Champions Cup)
January 19: v Castres Olympique (Champions Cup) *subject to completion of CIP.
