Immanuel Feyi-Waboso (England)
The independent committee has confirmed a two match suspension (subject to successful completion of the coaching intervention programme) to England’s Immanuel Feyi-Waboso after determining an action contrary to Law 9.13 (dangerous tackle) during the England XV versus France XV match.
The sanction has been accepted by the player.
In determining the sanction, the committee reviewed the matter, including all submissions and footage, the committee determined that Feyi-Waboso’s actions were contrary to Law 9.13 (dangerous tackle), and that they carried a high degree of danger.
Therefore a three match suspension was proposed to the player, reduced to two matches subject to successful completion of the coaching intervention programme.
The player has accepted the sanction.
Feyi-Waboso is therefore suspended for the following matches:
* 5 July – England v Argentina
* 12 July – England v Argentina
* 19 July – England v USA* – he will be free to play in this match after his successful completion of the World Rugby tackle school.
Cameron Woki (France)
World Rugby can confirm that the foul play review committee has decided to refer the matter involving Cameron Woki to a Disciplinary Committee for a full disciplinary hearing.
The Disciplinary hearing will take place on Tuesday, June 24.
