Sale's centre in hot water

DISCIPLINARY NEWS: Sale Sharks centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg will face a disciplinary hearing over a dangerous tackle against Exeter Chiefs.

The South African centre, 25, was cited following Sale's Premiership win over Chiefs on January 25.

He was yellow-carded for a high tackle on Gareth Steenson in the 32nd minute but could be banned if Tuesday's panel deems it merited a red card.

The sanction for low-end dangerous tackle is a two-week ban, rising to six weeks for a mid-range offence and 10 weeks to a year for the most serious.
