Red cards for fighting overturned
FACUNDO Gigena and Gary Graham have had their red cards for fighting rescinded. The pair were sent off by Karl Dickson towards the end of London Irish‘s 42-14 win at Newcastle last Friday.
Panel chair Matthew Weaver said: “There was no obvious danger to either player and this together with the lack of force and nature of the player’s actions led the panel to conclude that the player’s actions did not meet the red card threshold.”
Irish prop Gigena played in Tuesday’s Cup win over Leicester, while Falcons back row Graham played in Friday’s defeat to Sale.
