Leonardo Senatore faces another ban after biting Keegan Daniel

Jaguares loose forward Leonardo Senatore has been cited after he allegedly bit Sharks forward Keegan Daniel during their 25-22 loss on Saturday. It is not the first time Senatore has been in trouble for biting, after he was banned for the same offence three years ago. As the Jaguares piled the pressure on the Sharks tryline in Buenos Aires, flanker Daniel took Senatore to ground, ending up with his arm around his neck. Senatore took some friendly fire in the process, with a knee to the face, then clamped down on Daniel's arm, before more grappling and a scuffle ensued. Daniel brought the bite to the attention of referee Marius van der Westhuizen but in such a heated environment with more than a few bits of niggle, he basically told Daniel he wouldn't look into it. The Citing Commissioner had a closer look however, deeming the offence to have met the red card threshold for foul play. He was therefore cited for contravening Law 10.4(m) Acts contrary to good sportsmanship - Biting. Senatore faces a SANZAAR Judicial Hearing today, and could find himself in a lot of trouble considering the evidence, and the fact that he appears to have a bit of a taste for South African. In a Test between Argentina and South Africa in 2013, Senatore took a bite of meaty lock Eben Etzebeth, and was suspended for a total of nine weeks because of it. Jaguares skipper Agustin Creevy has been suspended for one week for a dangerous tackle in the same match on Saturday. His tackle on Jean Deysel resulted in the flanker leaving the field on a stretcher. A quick look at the incident is below, followed by match highlights
