During France v Scotland, Alex Dunbar received a YC for a dump tackle that was reviewed on the screen and determined to cross the line for a lift tackle, with Sexton's legs above his waist. It was a marginal case as there was not much of a lift (if any).
It is now reported that JS is to face investigation for "Simulation", which would have to fall under 10.4(m) - acts contrary to good sportsmanship.
I personally doubt that even if proved, JS could have been sent off for this, so it doesn't obviously come within the Citing Commissioner's remit. Can anyone think how else the investigation might be launched, and whether there might be any sanction if it finds JS to have been excessively thespian?
