Tom Youngs cited after Leicester's derby win over Wasps
Leicester skipper Tom Youngs has been cited by independent match commissioner Andy Blyth following last Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership win over Wasps.
The Tigers hooker will appear before an independent disciplinary panel on Tuesday after allegedly punching or striking Wasps' Will Rowlands in the 53rd minute of the league encounter at Welford Road.
The independent panel will comprise Jeremy Summers (chair), with Nick Garling and one other panel member to be confirmed.
Leicester full-back Telusa Veainu had been the star of a dour 18-9 victory.
With the game in the balance, the Tongan capitalised on poor handling from the visitors to run 90 metres and complete a miserable week for Wasps, during which Dai Young stood down after nine years at the helm as director of rugby.

Yeah nah he comes across as a funny bloke, but that stopped abruptly after the Nutcracker Prince debacle✋
Go to commentsAt this point I can’t watch him without thinking he’s a dirty slimebag. He should have been banned for the same amount of time that Quinn was out. It took Tupaea near on a fricking year to get fit enough to play again and his leg will never be the same. The other crap thing is that he was at ABs level and now he has to claw his way back there when he could have had several games under his belt.
