Officials accused of ignoring foul play to protect their ego will be subject to an RFU investigation, following an exchange sparked by a clash between Harlequins captain Stephan Lewies and Saracens counterpart Owen Farrell.
Saracens thrashed Quins 52-7 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, during which lock Lewies collided knees-first into Farrell, who took exception to the challenge.
