Meakes cited for dangerous tackle in Sunwolves match
By Online Editors
Melbourne centre Billy Meakes must front the SANZAAR judicial committee after being cited for alleged foul play during the Rebels' Super Rugby win over the Sunwolves on Saturday night.
Meakes was cited by the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee for his second half tackle on Sunwolves centre Jason Emery.
The Wallaby hopeful wasn't penalised for the 66th minute tackle at the time.
Meakes is alleged to have contravened Law 9.13: "A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously."
The hearing will be held by video conference with De Wet Barry, Chris Smith and a yet to be confirmed chairperson making up the judicial committee.

The Top 14 isn't profitable. Google "Toulon rugby deficits" and read the rugbyrama article from 24 July 2024. Lots of clubs losing money.

Borthwick has obviously earned the right to expect people to look elsewhere when the sort of personal problems likely at the heart of Jones' departure occur but it's hard to believe he's, if not entirely to blame, at least most of the problem.
England seem between choices in every aspect of their play to me right now
