ENGLAND PROP KYLE Sinckler will appear before an online independent disciplinary panel on Tuesday after he was cited for a swearing incident during the Bristol Bears’ English Premiership win over Exeter on Saturday.
Sinckler shouted “are you f**king serious?” to referee Karl Dickson after a no-arms tackle from Exeter’s Luke Cowan-Dickie on the England forward went unpunished.
Really poor form by Kyle Sinckler screaming “Are you Fu**ing serious” at referee Karl Dickson. They are ex teammates but it should have been a yellow card. We berate footballers for similar so we don’t want this in rugby and should respect the ref! pic.twitter.com/m4zWaIwIGV
The Bears moved to the top of the league with the 20-7 win, but Sinckler was subsequently cited for “failing to respect the authority of the match official, contrary to World Rugby Law 9.28″.
The 27-year-old later apologised on Twitter: “Want to apologise for my reaction today. Not the example I want to be setting.
“Heat of the moment stuff. Will make a conscious effort to improve. My bad.”
