England could lose lock Kruis for Aus tour
PAA
England could lose lock George Kruis for their three-Test mid-year tour of Australia, with the Saracens star cited for an alleged bite in Friday's Premiership clash at Bath.
Kruis will appear before a three-man RFU disciplinary panel in Bristol on Tuesday, as will Bath prop David Wilson, who has been cited for allegedly making contact with the eye or eye area of Kruis.
The lower end sanction if a biting offence is found proven is a 12-week suspension, according to Rugby Football Union regulations.

That would end Kruis' season and his hopes of an England place on the June tour to Australia.
The penalty former England prop Wilson faces if found guilty of gouging - making contact with eye(s) or eye area - is the same, 12 weeks.
