Michael Cheika, the head coach of Leicester Tigers, is facing a disciplinary hearing by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) following allegations of disrespect towards an independent matchday doctor during his first match in charge last month. The hearing, which took place on Tuesday night, stems from the aftermath of Leicester's thrilling victory over Exeter, where they clinched the win with a last-minute try from Tommy Reffell. The RFU has accused Cheika of violating its conduct rules, which are designed to protect the integrity of the game. If found guilty, he could face a suspension. The Tigers organization is reportedly frustrated not only by the incident involving Cheika but also by the red card issued to their center, Solomone Kata, during the match.
