Sonny Bill gets a warning

 

The Chiefs centre was warned for contravening Law 10.4 (e) Dangerous tackling during the clash with the Hurricanes in New Plymouth on Saturday.

 

The incident occurred in the 40th minute at Yarrow Stadium, but was not serious enough to warrant further sanction. 

 

A Citing Commissioner Warning may be issued by the SANZAR 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.
