Adam Thomson
All Black flanker Adam Thomson has been cited following
his team's weekend rugby test win against Scotland.
Thomson was cited for "stamping or trampling" on the head of
Scotland's Alasdair Strokosch, for which he was yellow carded
in the All Blacks' 51-22 victory at Murrayfieldyesterday.
Australia lock Rob Simmons was also cited after the
Wallabies' loss to France.
After coming on as a replacement at the Stade de France,
Simmons was cited for a dangerous "tip tackle" on flanker
Yannick Nyanga in the second half of the match won 33-6 by
France.
Hearings for both players will be held before independent
IRB-appointed Judicial Officers in London on Wednesday (local
time) when both could face bans that end their involvement in
their teams' European tours.
New Zealand play Italy in Rome on Saturday while Australia
face England at Twickenham.
