Former England prop cites Kyle Sinckler for foul-mouthed exchange with referee
By Online Editors
Bristol Bears' Kyle Sinckler has been cited following an exchange with referee Karl Dickson during the Bears' 20-7 defeat of Exeter on Saturday. Sinckler was heard asking Dickson, a former Harlequins teammate, ‘are you ****ing serious?’ after Chiefs hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie was penalised for a no-arms ram tackle.
The tighthead was cited by former England prop Duncan Bell.
Sinckler, who subsequently posted an apology on Twitter, will appear before a disciplinary panel on Tuesday.
If found guilty, the low end sanction carries a two-week entry point, while mid-range would see the prop banned for four weeks.
"Kyle Sinckler of Bristol Bears will appear before an online independent disciplinary panel tomorrow evening (Tuesday 12 January 2021)," an RFU statement read.
"Sinckler was cited by independent citing commissioner Duncan Bell following the match between Bristol Bears and Exeter Chiefs on Saturday 9 January 2021. This was for failing to respect the authority of the match official, contrary to World Rugby Law 9.28.
"The independent disciplinary panel will be chaired by Richard Whittam QC, with Becky Essex and one other panel member to be confirmed."

It wasn’t for Carter, Rokocoko, Beale, Zebo or Nakawara, even for Tuisova or Fickou now, although it’s easier for them (Top14 knowledge or French).
And Finn Russell’s genius arose in Paris.
Whereas Sexton or Woki dropped down.
The team seems to be more of the issue, the coaching method (with Lancaster’s son potentially creating nepotistic frustration) and the role of Laurent Travers was not clear in the organization.
With still Le Garrec outshining everyone.
