Lozowski suspended for two-weeks

Lozowski was cited for two acts of foul play by the match citing commissioner, Tim Lowry (Ireland), for dangerously entering a ruck and making contact with Glasgow hooker, Fraser Brown, in the 15th minute of the match in contravention of Law 9.20, and for allegedly tackling full-back, Ruaridh Jackson, dangerously in the 33rd minute of the match in contravention of Law 9.13.

In respect of the citing complaint concerning the alleged dangerous tackle, the committee heard additional evidence by phone from Ruaridh Jackson and subsequently decided to dismiss the complaint on the basis that Lozowski had not committed an act of foul play. 

In respect of the citing complaint concerning the incident at the ruck, the committee upheld the complaint as it determined that Lozowski had committed an act of foul play that warranted a red card. It found that the offence was at the low end of World Rugby’s sanctions and two weeks was selected as the appropriate entry point.

Lozowski is free to play on Monday 29th October. Both he and EPCR have the right to appeal the decision.
