Tigers director Cockerill escapes sanction for his ‘cheat’ outburst

Richard Cockerill will not face disciplinary action over his post-match comments made following last Saturday’s Aviva Premiership game between Leicester and Sale Sharks.

The Leicester rugby director spoke out immediately after the game at Welford Road when asked to comment on a series of reset scrums.

The RFU have now confirmed there will be no action taken against the former England hooker.
