Manu Samoa are demanding answers from World Rugby after two of their players received an extended ban for dangerous tackles.

Rey Lee-Lo and Motu Matu’u were both yellow carded during Samoa’s Rugby World Cup opener against Russia last week but were later slapped with a three-match suspension by an independent judicial committee.

Coach Steve Jackson said in both cases Russian fullback Vasily Artemyev was deemed to have dropped into contact, which remained a grey area in World Rugby’s high tackle framework.

Samoa will play Scotland at 10:15 tonight.
