England's Flood cited for tip tackle
LONDON (Reuters) - England flyhalf Toby Flood has a nervous wait to see if he will miss part of the Six Nations championship after he was cited on Saturday for an alleged tip tackle.
Flood sent Worcester counterpart Andy Goode's head towards the ground in Leicester's 19-14 English Premiership win on Friday.
