Francois Louw cited for alleged eye-gouge
By Online Editors
Francois Louw has now been cited having allegedly made contact with the eyes of Marco Fuser, during Baths win over Treviso on Saturday.
Louw will attend an independent disciplinary hearing in London on Wednesday, with the incident alleged to have happened in the 77th minute of Bath's 23-0 victory.
Should he be found guilty the South African flanker will be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Any contact with the eye area of another player brings about a suspension of between 12 to 52 weeks.
Fuser has also been cited, for supposedly biting the Springbok flanker, also in the 77th minute at the recreation grounds.
The only other player cited from Champions Cup action this weekend is Leicester back-row Mike Williams for allegedly making contact with the face area of Racing 92 centre Henry Chavany.

I appreciate this but you can see from the comments here the love in between NZ-SA where real respect lies. NZ detest Ireland since the series loss inventing narratives of arrogance and conspiracy theories about TMOs. Rugby Union is a Global Mickey Mouse game compared to soccer for example. Nations need to have a more friendly generous outlook towards each other.
