Francois Louw charged by RFU

Bath flanker Francois Louw is charged by the RFU over an alleged eye gouge on Courtney Lawes during his side's 15-14 defeat at the hands of Northampton Saints.

Bath flanker Francois Louw has been charged by the Rugby Football Union following an incident involving Courtney Lawes during his side's clash with Northampton Saints on Saturday.

The 30-year-old South African has been cited for allegedly making "contact with the eye(s) or eye area", which could result in a lengthy ban if he is found guilty.

Bath went on to lose the match 15-14 at Franklin's Gardens to leave them ninth in the Premiership table with just one game of the season remaining.

Louw will appear before a three-man disciplinary panel in Bristol on Thursday to determine his punishment for the alleged incident.

Bath take on Leicester Tigers in their final game of the campaign this weekend.
