England international Kruis faces bite citing that could end his season

David Wilson faces “eye gouge” charge as part of the same Premiership incident.

SARACENS FACE AN anxious wait after their English international lock George Kruis was cited for an alleged bite just days before their Champions Cup quarter-final against Northampton.

Both Kruis and international team-mate David Wilson are set to face a disciplinary hearing tomorrow evening following an incident in Sarries’ Premiership win against Bath.

Wilson has been cited for allegedly making contact with Kruis’ eye or eye area during the same altercation. Both men liable to face punishments of 12 weeks or more if the charges are upheld.

Any ban for Kruis would be a blow for Sarries as they approach the business end of the domestic and European seasons, and also potentially for England who could lose their star for the tour of Australia in June.

Bath prop Wilson, who has 44 international caps, was last capped in the World Cup win against Uruguay and did not feature in the Six Nations under Eddie Jones.

    Only beating Malta by two goals is embarrassing

    I’m glad Southgate got the job. He’s a useless pr*** and the best thing you can say about him is he is Allardyce’s sloppy seconds. A sad comment on the quality of English managers.

    He is only caretaker manager as there wasn’t enough time to find a long term replacement before these games. Calm down.

    @Chocolatito: It’s not embarrassing at all. Malta rarely get hammered by teams, in the last year they’ve only lost by one goal in games against Croatia, Italy and Austria. The reason they got hammered by Scotland was because they had a player unfairly sent off and fell apart from there.

    No. It is embarrassing. It’s f***ing embarrassing. Malta’s top player only played today because he got someone else to cover his postman’s round. To be fair. Any team Rooney can get into now has to be shite.

    When was the last time Rooney had a good game? If he played for a smaller club there’s no way he’d be playing for England.
