Cheetahs hooker Torsten van Jaarsveld has been given a citing commissioner warning for foul play in Saturday’s clash with the Crusaders.
Van Jaarsveld received the warning for contravening Law 10.4(m) Any other acts (not previously referred to) which are contrary to good sportsmanship.
The incident occurred in the 31st minute of the match which the Crusaders won 48-21 in Bloemfontein. Van Jaarsveld placed his forearm on an opposing player’s neck whilst that Player was on the ground.
A warning may be issued by the SANZAAR Citing Commissioner for foul play incidents that are very close to, but in his opinion do not meet the Red Card threshold for citings.
Upon further review of the match footage the Citing Commissioner deemed a warning was appropriate.
