Quintet cited following weekend’s incidents

Bath trio Matt Banahan, Francoi Louw and Lee Mears have all been cited following the heated clash between the West Country club and Leicester at Welford Road on Saturday.
Banahan was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Anthony Allen while Louw suffered the same fate after striking Geordan Murphy with his elbow.
On the other hand, Mears was cited for punching or striking an opponent following a report from the independent citing officer John Byett.
But they weren’t the only players cited after the game as Leicester flanker Brett Deacon also saw red for punching or striking an opponent in the Banahan incident’s ensuing melee.
They will be joined in Bristol tonight by London Irish No.8 Chris Hala’ufia who was sent off for a tenth-minute tip tackle on London Welsh Seb Jewell in the battle of the Exiles on Saturday.
