Saracens scrum-half Aled Davies is facing a ban after admitting a charge of dangerous tackling in Saturday's Premiership final loss.

The 29-year-old was yellow-carded in the 24th minute after television replays showed his shoulder made contact with the head of Leicester hooker Julian Montoya during a tackle.

Rugby’s recent confusing approach to high tackles takes another twist with Aled Davies eventually cited for his hit on Julian Montoya in the Premiership final. There was seemingly an on-field shift in the handling of high tackles in the play-offs with different interpretations.

Anyone actually understand the high tackle laws anymore? It seems to be getting more and more inconsistent and topped off with the Aled Davies (and Matt Scott) yellows

Aled Davies cited. Cue the ref criticism. It's impossible to get all of these calls correct on the day. Literally (actual meaning of literally) impossible.
