Elstadt suspended for three weeks--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wednesday, 10 September 2014 Elstadt suspended for three weeks DHL Western Province flank Rynhardt Elstadt on Wednesday was suspended for three weeks for charging into a ruck dangerously in their Absa Currie Cup clash against the EP Kings last Friday. Elstadt received a yellow card for the incident, which was in breach of Law 10.4 (h), in the 57th minute of the match and was subsequently cited. He appeared at a SARU disciplinary hearing in Cape Town on Tuesday. Law 10.4 (h) states that a player must not charge into a ruck or maul without the use of the arms or without grasping a player. The Judicial Officer, Advocate Rob Stelzner, on Wednesday released his judgement which described the incident as a mid-range offence. After taking all mitigating factors into account he suspended Elstadt for three weeks. The player will be allowed to return to action on 30 September 2014. Issued by SARU Corporate Affairs |
