Prop to face RFU panel on Tuesday, 29 January
Jason Hobson’s appeal hearing has been set for Tuesday, 29 January by the Rugby Football Union (RFU).

Hobson denies the charge and will have his appeal heard by an RFU disciplinary panel at Bristol Filton Holiday Inn.
Until the date of the appeal hearing, Hobson is eligible to play for Bristol Rugby.
