Each of the offences in World Rugby Law 9 has a specific entry point attached to it which is set out in a table format. This is known as the Sanction Table and the RFU is required by World Rugby to adopt this table in full. The Sanction Table can be viewed on the England Rugby website.
Each offence under Law 9 has a low end, mid-range and top end entry point. The Independent Panel reaches an entry point based on the assessment of seriousness of an incident (see RFU Regulation 19.4.49) and a mixture of their own rugby experience and knowledge of other cases.
All cases are judged independently upon their own facts.
If you require further assistance with locating a specific judgment, please contact the team via disciplinerfu@rfu.com.
