Fijian Drua hooker Samu Suguturaga will face a NRC judicial hearing on Tuesday night after allegedly biting his opposite number, Brisbane City skipper Andrew Ready, on the ear in a scrum.
Ready reported the incident to the on-field referee immediately during his team's 45-36 opening round win at Ballymore on Saturday.
"I'm lucky he was wearing a mouthguard otherwise he would have had the whole thing [ear]," Ready said later, sporting two stitches in his outer ear.
