The incident was referred to the TMO for review before the Chiefs' prop was red carded.

The player pleaded guilty to the charge and was banned for two weeks until the October 3, 2016. 

The Disciplinary Panel Chairman Gareth Graham said: "The panel found this a low-end offence due to the fact that it was a glancing reckless contact between Francis' shin and the back of Danny Care's head which caused no injury."

The panel comprised of Gareth Graham (Chairman), John Doubleday and Mike Curling.
