Nervy wait for Wallabies

NEWS: Australia centre Samu Kerevi will attend an independent disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.

Kerevi received a red card for a dangerous tackle during the Wallabies’ 52-20 thumping over Wales.

The Wallaby, who was celebrating his landmark 50th cap in the centre, was shown a yellow card for a tackle on Jac Morgan that ended with his shoulder and forehead crashing into the Welsh flank’s cheek.

Later ruled highly dangerous by the TMO, the decision to upgrade to the 20-minute red card offence.

Kerevi is set to contravene Law 9.13 (A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously).

The 31-year-old, who is based in Japan, is not expected to be available for the final match of the tour against Ireland in Dublin anyway, so his tour could be over unless Australian officials successfully fight his corner.

The player will attend the hearing via video conference before an independent Disciplinary Committee chaired by Brenda Heather-Latu (Samoa).

The hearing will take place on Tuesday, November 19.
