Tongan Thor cited after reckless play
By RugbyPass
Wallabies and Reds prop Taniela Tupou could be in for a sideline stint after being cited for alleged foul play during his side's loss against the Stormers on Sunday morning.
Tupou is alleged to have contravened Law 9.13 A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously after collecting Stormers wing Craig Barry above the shoulders without using his arms.
Upon further review of the match footage, the Citing Commissioner deemed that the incident had met the Red Card threshold for foul play.
Despite the Citing Commissioner's opinion, at the time of the incident there was no sanction assessed by referee Marius van der Westhuizen.
The Case is to be considered in the first instance by the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee which will take place via video-conference.
