Dangerous Ospreys duo cited

Ospreys loose forwards George Stowers and Jonathan Thomas have been cited for foul play following the match against the Newport Gwent Dragons on Friday, January 6.

Both were cited for dangerous tackles with Stowers’ offence coming in the 67th minute, and Thomas’ in the 79th minute of the match.  Both players will be required to attend a hearing before an three man independent Pro12 disciplinary committee, the date and venue of which will be confirmed separately.

The committee will also hear the case of the Treviso loose forward Simon Picone, who received a red card for illegally charging an opponent in the 80th minute of the match against Munster on Saturday, January 7.
