Former Leinster coach alleged to have disrespected the independent matchday doctor
has been accused of disrespecting an independent matchday doctor after his first match in charge of Leicester Tigers last month and will face an English Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing on Tuesday night.
Shortly before the tackle, Kata was involved in a collision with his team-mate Ollie Chessum as the pair attempted to tackle the Exeter winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso. Chessum was sent for a head injury assessment but Kata was not. The incident was later reviewed by the independent matchday doctor, who told the Tigers that both players should have been removed for HIAs due to showing category-one symptoms which results in a stand-down period of 12 days.
Cheika has been openly critical of refereeing performances in the past while in 2017 he was warned by World Rugby after he was caught on camera sarcastically applauding decisions during Australia’s 30-6 defeat by England at Twickenham. The RFU is set to issue the verdict of the disciplinary hearing on Wednesday morning.
The Sharks, who face Gloucester this Friday, have also revealed Tom Curry will again be absent after experiencing a setback in his recovery from the concussion he suffered against Harlequins on the league’s opening weekend. Sanderson said the injury-plagued Curry was “not feeling his best” and would not be rushed back until he was symptom-free.
