This is Leicestershire --Leicester Tigers have refused to comment on the charge of improper conduct towards director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
The man who led Tigers to a ninth Premiership title with a 37-17 win against Northampton Saints will attend a Rugby Union disciplinary hearing, at a date to be confirmed, to explain his actions during that final at Twickenham.
Cockerill was finally charged by the RFU nine days after the final whistle and will have to answer what they say is alleged "conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game".
The charge by the RFU says: "It is alleged that Richard Cockerill used obscene, inappropriate and/or unprofessional language and behaviour in exchanges with Stuart Terheege, the fourth official."
The hearing date, venue and time will be confirmed in due course.
The alleged incident occurred midway through the first half after Toby Flood received a hit by Saints lock Courtney Lawes.
The hit was deemed late by referee Wayne Barnes and he awarded a penalty against Lawes. But despite seemingly beginning to signal for the TMO to see if Lawes' indiscretion warranted any further punishment, Barnes stopped short and failed to go "upstairs".
That frustrated Cockerill and he left his seat in the stand for a lively discussion with the fourth official on the touchline while Flood was about to leave the game with concussion – caused when Dan Cole's knee hit his head on the way down from Lawes' tackle.
It is the nature of those discussions that will determine whether or not he will get into any trouble when a date for the hearing is finally determined.
Should Cockerill be found guilty of the charge, he could face a touchline ban or/and a fine.
But the nature of the case will be interesting to follow because, for him to be guilty, Cockerill will have had to personally abuse Terheege and not just express his displeasure with the incident.
If "using obscene language" becomes an offence on a rugby touchline, the RFU's disciplinary panel could have a lot of work to do next season.
Northampton's Dylan Hartley was sent off by Barnes just before half-time for questioning the integrity of the referee by calling him a "cheat". Reported by This is 15 hours ago.
