Australia’s Hooper cited
Print Edition
WALLABIES backrower Michael Hooper has been cited for an alleged shoulder charge during Australia’s 33-13 win over England at the Rugby World Cup, a decision that could force a reshuffle of Australia’s backrow for the Pool A decider against Wales this weekend.
The 23-year-old openside flanker was penalized during the Twickenham match on Saturday for charging into a ruck just before halftime and clearing out England fullback Mike Brown without the use of his arms, but didn’t receive a yellow card. Citing commissioner Steve Hinds of New Zealand reviewed video of the match and charged the Wallabies vice-captain. Hooper, who has 48 test caps, is set to face a hearing today in London, and should know the findings within 24 hours.
