Slap on the wrist for Steyn

Blue Bulls flyhalf Morne Steyn has been suspended for one week after being found guilty of foul play by a SARU Judicial Officer on Tuesday.

Steyn was cited for allegedly breaching law, 10.4 (a), which deals with the striking of an opponent with, for instance the arm, following the Blue Bulls' Currie Cup semifinal clash with the Sharks in Durban on Saturday.

Judicial Officer Louis Booyse suspended Steyn from all forms of rugby until October 28, which means that he will not miss any of the Blue Bulls' scheduled matches as they have already been knocked out of the Currie Cup.

Blue Bulls player Morne Mellett was cited for tripping Sharks flyhalf Patrick Lambie, contrary to law 10.4 (d) in the 29th minute of the same match. Booyse found that the yellow card issued was sufficient punishment under the circumstances.
