WORCESTER Warriors prop Ryan Bower is due to appear before an independent disciplinary panel on Tuesday night.

Bower was shown a red card by referee Wayne Barnes for "dangerous play in a ruck" in the 68th minute of Worcester Warriors' 52-7 victory over Bristol Bears on Sunday.

The loosehead prop, who replaced Callum Black in the 58th minute, made contact with the head of Bristol centre Will Hurrell.

The hearing will take place in Tewkesbury on Tuesday at 6.30pm. The panel will be chaired by Daniel White with two other panel members to be confirmed.
