The Sale and England forward Jonny Hill has received a 10-week ban – with four weeks suspended – after accepting a charge that he physically abused a spectator. Hill, who has not played for Sale this season, will be available from 7 December.
He appeared before an independent disciplinary panel for an alleged breach of the Rugby Football Union’s rule 5.12 – conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game and/or Union – in that he was alleged to have physically abused a spectator after Sale’s Premiership playoff defeat at Bath on 1 June. The RFU said Hill accepted the charge.
