Waratahs prop Angus Bell avoids suspension despite red card against Chiefs
By AAP
NSW Waratahs prop Angus Bell is free to face the Crusaders on Saturday after escaping suspension for a lifting tackle on Chiefs flanker Sam Cane.
Bell was red-carded just two minutes into last Saturday's 51-27 Super Rugby Pacific loss to the Chiefs in Melbourne.
But the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee has only issued Bell with a warning after examining the tackle, which referee Nick Berry alleged was "dangerous" with "no mitigation".
"He (Cane) lands on his head. I'm on red," Berry told the television match official on Saturday.
But SANZAAR's Foul Play Review Committee Chairman Michael Heron QC deemed otherwise.
"Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including from the player and submissions from his legal representative, Aaron Lloyd, the Foul Play Review Committee found the foul play did not breach the red card threshold," Heron said.
"With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a warning as it was close to, but did not breach the red card threshold.
"The Foul Play Review Committee deemed that the significant involvement of other players contributed to the incident which produced mitigating factors."
The seventh-placed Waratahs host the third-placed Crusaders at Leichhardt Oval in another key trans-Tasman battle.

Fundamentally disagree that we should be starting Sam Cane as 7 this year. If Ardie is best 7 play him there now. If Lakai is the future, play him there now. Let him get 30 caps prior to the world cup or you in the media will flog him for not being prepared. If Sam Cane is so good at mentoring and preparing players, well surely that is the coaches job? God knows there are enough of them, surely they have this in their job description? If not then hire Sam Cane as a coach and pick the best player.
Go to commentsTrust, I once believed, formed the essential foundation of any partnership, particularly in business ventures and financial transactions. My naiveté, however, led me to trust too readily. I encountered an individual presenting herself as a crypto investment guru and strategist. We bonded over shared interests, including our lifestyles and a mutual appreciation for arts and antiques. I found myself believing every word she spoke regarding his purported success in crypto and how crypto would soon take over the world. I was intrigued, after all, a couple of thousand dollars won't break a spine. Initially, the experience seemed promising, but it soon devolved into a chaotic situation. I was repeatedly pressured to provide increasingly substantial sums of money as my supposed profits grew, and I sought to withdraw my funds. Within a mere three months, I had transferred $390,000 in Bitcoin from my wallet across five separate transactions. Subsequently, my wallet was compromised and faced imminent threat. It was at this critical juncture that I sought assistance from Meta Tech Recovery Pro. I presented my case to them, and after a thorough analysis, they revealed that I had been communicating with a single individual throughout the entire ordeal. Meta Tech Recovery Pro swiftly secured my wallet and, through their expertise, successfully recovered my Bitcoin from the scammer. In conclusion, I strongly advise exercising extreme caution when placing your trust in individuals you encounter online. I am eternally grateful to Meta Tech Recovery Pro for their invaluable assistance. They can be reached via:
