World Rugby can confirm that the following players will have their cases heard by an Independent Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) on Monday, 30 June, 2025.

  • England #6, George Timmins, leading with the forearm pursuant to law 9.11
  • New Zealand #19, Randall Baker, for a dangerous clearout pursuant to law 9.20(a)

England’s George Timmins was issued with a red card during England’s match against Scotland in the World Rugby U20 Championship 2025, while New Zealand’s Randall Baker was cited by the Citing Commissioner for an incident during New Zealand’s U20 Championship match against Italy.

As part of the expedited off-field sanction process in operation for the World Rugby U20 Championship, the citing window is limited to 12 hours following the final whistle. The FPRC will ordinarily convene after each match day to review red card incidents and citing. All full disciplinary hearings will typically be conducted ordinarily by the Tuesday following the relevant match.
