Rugby stars face World Cup suspension
Persistent offenders at the Rugby World Cup could be suspended under new disciplinary proceedings announced by the International Rugby Board.
Players who receive three yellow cards in the tournament, which starts on October 10, will have to appear before a judicial commissioner to determine whether further punishment is necessary, the IRB says.
The IRB also says independent citing commissioners will be located at the television studios of the host broadcaster, rather than at the match venues.
