Delport to face disciplinary hearing

Worcester fullback Thinus Delport faces a Rugby Football Union (RFU) disciplinary hearing in London on Tuesday after being sent off for receiving two yellow cards against London Irish at the weekend.

Delport was sin-binned for a late tackle on Exiles wing Delon Armitage in the first half of Worcester's 12-10 defeat.

He was then sent off after he and Exiles playmaker Riki Flutey exchanged punches during a dust-up involving several players. Both players were yellow-carded, which in Delport's case translated to red.

The former South Africa international then received his marching orders after 55 minutes for punching.
