Reds backrow Scott-Young cited for punching former teammate
By Online Editors
Queensland Reds forward Angus Scott-Young is facing a lengthy Super Rugby ban after being cited for striking former teammate James Slipper during Sunday's win over the Brumbies.
Scott-Young entered a ruck and hit Slipper on the back of the head with his right fist in the 29th minute of the 36-14 win at Suncorp Stadium.
The 21-year-old wasn't punished at the time but SANZAAR's disciplinary committee has since cited him for contravening Law 9.12 which states "a player must not physically abuse anyone".
Slipper was sent to the sideline for a head injury assessment after the incident.
Sunwolves flanker Ed Quirk was red-carded for a similar offence last year and SANZAAR's citing commissioner deemed Scott-Young's actions met the threshold for a red card for foul play.
Quirk was later given a two-game ban for his offence.
Scott-Young will learn his fate at a judicial hearing on Monday afternoon.

Yeah, Perofeta's injury opened the door for Love to debut. Love's injury in NPC ruled him out of the Bledisloe Cup matches, but Robertson saw potential in him, so he kept him around for the EOYT. However, Perofeta's recovery meant he could return, hence Love being played on the Wing.
Robertson's attitude was just pissing me off near the end of the year, with how he'd go around complimenting the new guys as if he'd always seen potential in them, despite only giving them a chance due to injuries.
