COVENTRY Rugby scrum-half Sam Maunder has received a three-match ban following a dangerous tackle in the club’s win against Bedford Blues.
Maunder received a 20-minute red card for the tackle against Beford in Coventry’s win at Butts Park Arena.
However, following an independent disciplinary hearing, Maunder will now serve a three-match suspension.
This rules the scrum-half out of fixtures against Chinnor, Ealing Trailfinders and Richmond.
However, the sanction will be reduced to two matches if Maunder successfully completes the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme (CIP).
