Wellington: The United States rugby team captain Todd Clever has been cited for dangerous play in a match against Russia at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Clever was cited for a dangerous tackle and dangerous charge during his team’s 13-6 win against Russia in their Rugby World Cup pool C match in New Plymouth Thursday.
The openside flanker appeared to make a late tackle without his arms on replacement Victor Gresev late in the match, Radio New Zealand reported Friday.
The disciplinary hearing will take place in Auckland before independent English judge Jeff Blackett at a date to be confirmed.
