Lozowski free to face the Boks

DISCIPLINARY UPDATE: Saracens centre Alex Lozowski has been suspended for two weeks which is good news for England.

Lozowski was cited for two acts of foul play following Saracens’ 13-3 Champions Cup win over Glasgow at Scotstoun on Sunday.

The 25-year-old was cited for dangerously entering a ruck and making contact with the Glasgow Warriors hooker, Fraser Brown, in the 15th minute of the match in contravention of Law 9.20, and for allegedly tackling the Glasgow Warriors fullback, Ruaridh Jackson, dangerously in the 33rd minute of the match in contravention of Law 9.13.

Despite the fact that there were some mitigating factors, the Committee decided that in the absence of a guilty plea it could not reduce the sanction and a two-week suspension was imposed.

Lozowski is, therefore, free to play on Monday, October 29.

The two-week suspension means he will miss Saracens’ European home clash with Lyon on Saturday and the Premiership fixture with Leicester a week later.

But will be available for England’s November Test against South Africa at Twickenham on November 3.
