Neil facing suspension over Worsley Back-hander

ENGLAND World Cup hero Neil Back could find himself walking a disciplinary tightrope when he reports for Lions duty tomorrow.

Back’s most obvious contribution to the Zurich Premiership final defeat by Wasps on Saturday - his 339th and last Leicester appearance - was a sickening punch that felled Wasps flanker and former England colleague Joe Worsley.

It left Worsley with a wound inside his mouth which required 13 stitches, and grotesque facial swelling that meant he was barely able to talk as the dust began settling on Wasps’ third successive Premiership title triumph.
