Saracens' Champions Cup defence could be under threat after it emerged that prop Titi Lamositele may have been ineligible to play against Racing 92 in January.
The European champions are subject to a misconduct complaint after the tournament organisers were informed by Saracens that United States international Lamositele's work permit expired the day before their 27-24 victory at Allianz Park.
Although there is no precedent for this sort of administrative error, French club Grenoble were heavily punished for fielding an ineligible player against London Welsh in the 2012-13 European Challenge Cup.
