Chris Horsman: Appearing before RFU panel

Worcester prop Chris Horsman has been charged with allegedly kicking Harlequins' opposite number Mike Ross.

Wales international Horsman was cited by independent officer Rob Hardwick after the Warriors' 30-23 defeat at Sixways on October 2.

Horsman will appear before a three-man Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel in Bristol on Thursday, to be chaired by Christopher Quinlan and including John Doubleday and Paul Murphy.

An RFU appeals panel was on Monday preparing to hear the appeal from Northampton and Ireland flanker Neil Best against an 18-week suspension for eye-gouging Wasps' James Haskell.
