Sanctions
Cited and suspended
James Kamana (Lions) who was cited for a dangerous (tip) tackle, found guilty and suspended for three weeks.
It is surprising that Jarrad Hoeata of the Highlanders was not suspended after punching Andries Bekker of the Stormers several times. Though Bekker appeared not to defend himself, he served the same punishment as Hoeata in the match.
Yellow cards
Jarrad Hoeata (Highlanders) – punching
Andries Bekker (Stormers) – being punched
Cooper Vuna (Rebels) – deliberate infringement near the goal-line.
Jono Jenkins (Force) – tackle infringement
James Kamana (Lions) – dangerous tackle
