Jonny May free after disciplinary case heard on papers
By Online Editors
Leicester Tigers wing Jonny May is free to play after it was found his red card in the weekend's clash with Saracens was punishment enough.
The charges against May were heard on papers by an independent single judicial officer. The player was shown a red card after receiving two yellow cards – Law 10.4(m) – in the match Leicester Tigers v Saracens on Sunday 24 December 2017.
Both yellow cards were awarded for deliberate knock-ons. The first yellow card was issued in the 9th minute of the match and the second was issued in the 69th minute of the match.
May consented to the matter being dealt with on the papers.
The sanction table set out at Appendix 1 to RFU Regulation 19 here determines that the sanction for two yellow cards, where both are given for technical offences, is sending off sufficient.
The player is free to play again immediately.

BB a 9'5 you have to be kidding. No way was he that good you seem to have the same hero worship of BB that the coaches have with him. Rieko to the wing or out altogether he is actually a real hand brake to this team.
Go to commentsA 20pt messy win is about what I expected. Lots of media & fans not reading the room imo. I think the Azzuri were hoping to ambush a 2nd string ABs & may well have done so. Eking out an ugly win is definitely a sign of growth. 2025 looks exciting.
Also, AUS has only beaten ENG of note. They need to show up v SCO & IRE to get a proper gauge. Beating WAL three times doesn't count. Also, winning one test from six in TRC is useless. So TRC2025 will be the real litmus test for AUS. That said, I'm rooting for our SH brothers for the next two tests.
