WORCESTER Warriors scrum-half Jonny Arr will be appearing before an RFU disciplinary panel tomorrow and could miss Friday’s Championship play-off semi-final second leg against London Scottish.
Arr was yellow carded on the stroke of half-time in Warriors’ narrow 27-22 win against Scottish in the first leg at Richmond Athletic Ground last Saturday.
Arr has been charged with committing a Tip Tackle, contrary to Law 10.4(j).
If Arr is found guilty of the offence, the Worcester-born player is likely to be banned for Friday’s showdown at Sixways.
With Charlie Mulchrone suffering an ankle injury against the Exiles, third-choice scrum-half Jean-Baptiste Bruzulier could be in line for a surprise recall to the starting line-up.
Bruzulier’s last appearance for Warriors was when he skippered the club to a 35-5 win against Doncaster Knights in the final of the British and Irish Cup on April 3.
Arr’s disciplinary hearing takes place tomorrow at 6.30pm at the Coventry Holiday Inn.
The panel will comprise of Adrienne Lucking QC and Tony Wheat. An additional panel member is to be confirmed.
