Pumas lock cited for tackle

By
Saturday 31 Oct 2015

Argentina's up-and-coming lock will face a rugby judge on Sunday after being cited for an illegal tackle in the Pumas' defeat in the third-place match by South Africa.

World Rugby said the 22-year-old had been cited under a law which "states that a player must not charge into a ruck or maul" and "includes any contact made without use of the arms, or without grasping a player."

It did not give details of the incident but said a hearing would be held Sunday in London before judicial officer Terry Willis of Australia.
