• Sinckler faces disciplinary panel on Tuesday
• Guilty verdict carries minimum 12-week ban
Kyle Sinckler is facing the prospect of a lengthy ban after he was cited for an alleged bite on South Africa’s Franco Mostert during the British & Irish Lions’ second Test defeat by the Springboks but several other controversial incidents have been overlooked.
Sinckler was the only player cited from an ill-tempered second Test – won 27-9 by South Africa – over an incident in the 64th minute. He will face a disciplinary panel on Tuesday and if found guilty he will miss the decider on Saturday and face a minimum suspension of 12 weeks. The maximum is four years.
