Semi-final citing hands Toulouse a Champions Cup final headache

Toulouse have been given a pre-Investec Champions Cup final headache as Santiago Chocobares must face a disciplinary hearing 10 days before the French club take on Leinster in the May 25 final at Tottenham.

The Argentine back was a 69th-minute replacement for midfielder Paul Costes but his part in finishing out the 38-26 semi-final victory over Harlequins has now been called into question for a tackle on Luke Northmore, who was quickly substituted following the collision.

A statement read: “EPCR has received a citing complaint against the Stade Toulousain replacement, Santiago Chocobares (No22), arising from his club’s Investec Champions Cup semi-final match against Harlequins at Le Stadium on Sunday.
