Bristol Bears face the prospect of being without star loosehead prop Ellis Genge for the rest of the season after the England international was cited for a dangerous tackle in the 36-20 defeat to Sale Sharks on Friday night.
Genge was shown a yellow card in the 54th minute of the contest at Ashton Gate for a tackle on fellow England teammate Tom Curry which saw him make contact with the head of the Sharks flanker with his left shoulder.
