Jack Nowell, the Exeter and England wing, is facing the prospect of disciplinary action from the Rugby Football Union for his outburst on Twitter during the Chiefs’ heavy defeat by Leicester on Sunday as the governing body clamps down on criticism of the game’s officials.
His Test colleague Ellis Genge, meanwhile, has been cited after the most recent round of Premiership action for a dangerous tackle and could miss the start of England’s World Cup preparations if found guilty at a hearing on Tuesday.
