Flying Fijians and Leicester centre Seru Rabeni must appear before a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing on Friday after being accused of playing while banned.

Rabeni was given a 14-week ban for making illegal contact with the eye area of Saracens hooker Andy Kyriacou on March 15th.

But the 29-year-old is alleged to have appeared in three Sevens tournaments during his suspension.

He faces three counts of conduct prejudicial to the game's interests.

If found guilty, he could miss the start of Leicester's season.
