Val Rapava Ruskin to appear before disciplinary panel

Worcester Warriors prop Val Rapava Ruskin will appear before a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel on Wednesday after he was cited following the recent Aviva Premiership clash against Newcastle Falcons.

The 24-year-old has been charged with a breach of law 10.4(m) that deals with acts contrary to good sportsmanship after he was cited for pushing referee Greg Garner during the game which was won by Newcastle Falcons with a close 16-14 margin.

The disciplinary hearing will take place in Bristol at 6:30 pm local time and will be headed by Daniel White.

Worcester Warriors are positioned 11th in the Aviva Premiership table with just five wins from 21 games.
