Nathan Michelow banned for four matches

The case of Nathan Michelow, Saracens, was heard by an independent panel chaired by Matthew Weaver KC, sitting with Sir Peter Draser and Oliver Clark.

Michelow was shown a red card for lifting and/or dropping/driving an opponent, contrary to World Rugby Law 9.18, during a game against Newcastle Falcons on Friday 26th September.

Michelow denied the charge, but the panel upheld the charge and the player received a four-match ban.
