Brown facing further punishment after Daly tackle
By Harry West
Fraser Brown could miss Scotland's final Six Nations fixture against Italy after being cited for his tip-tackle on England's Elliot Daly on Saturday.
The hooker picked up Daly and dumped him on his back in the second minute at Twickenham, receiving a yellow card - seen as lenient by some - from referee Mathieu Raynal.
Daly attempted a return to the action following a Head Injury Assessment before being permanently replaced soon after.
Scotland went on to lose 61-21 as England retained their Six Nations crown, but Brown has subsequently been cited and, if the disciplinary committee upgrades his transgression to a red-card offence, he will face a suspension.
Brown's hearing is to be held in London on Tuesday, with Scotland hosting rock-bottom Italy at Murrayfield on Saturday in Vern Cotter's final match in charge.

The prem games this season have mainly been great to watch , with the exception of Sale. So boring and predictable.
Let's have more of Bristol, Bath , Quins etc style of play.
Rugby needs expansive play to put more bums on seats . Not the dirge of rolling forward mauls constantly trying to bully their way over the line.
It has its place yes to draw the defence but the fans want to see more running rugby . Not win at any cost and sod the entertainment .
