Skelton gets warning for foul play

Skelton  was issued with a Citing Commissioner Warning for contravening Law 10.4 (k) Dangerous play in a scrum, ruck or maul, during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.

The incident occurred when Skelton made contact with Reds No.2 Saia Fainga'a in the 25th minute of the match at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.  

A Citing Commissioner 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 Citing Commissioner Warning was appropriate.
