- Newcastle director of rugby given six-match suspension
- He later told TMO at dinner that he ‘should retire’
Steve Diamond’s season-ending ban was meted out because he called a group of match‑day officials “cunts” before telling the television match official he should retire.
The Newcastle director of rugby was slapped with a six-match suspension last week after a disciplinary hearing into an incident that took place in the dying throes of the Falcons’ late defeat by fellow struggles Exeter last month.
