FOUL PLAY REVIEW COMMITTEE NEWS RELEASESANZAAR NEWS RELEASE The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee has accepted a guilty plea from Armand van der Merwe of the Sharks for contravening Law 9.12: A player must not physically abuse anyone, after he was Red Carded during a Super Rugby Match at the Weekend. Van der Merwe has been suspended from all forms of the game for 3 weeks, up to and including 19 April 2019. The incident occurred in the 58th minute of the match between the Sharks and Bulls played at Johnson Kings Park in Durban on 30 March 2019. The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee of Adam Casselden SC (Chairman), Stefan Terblanche and Eroni Clarke assessed the case. In his finding, Foul Play Review Committee Chairman Adam Casselden SC ruled the following: "Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including from the player and submissions from his legal representative, Attie Heyns, the Foul Play Review Committee upheld the Red Card under Law 9.12." "With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks due to the World Rugby instructions that dictate any incident of foul play involving contact with the head must start at a mid-range level. The evidence demonstrated the Player contacted the opposing Player's head with multiple punches. However, taking into account mitigating factors including the Player's good judicial record and the fact the Player has pleaded guilty at the first available opportunity, the Foul Play Review Committee reduced the suspension to 3 weeks." "The player is therefore suspended for 3 weeks, up to and including 19 April 2019.” All SANZAAR disciplinary matters are in the first instance referred to the Foul Play Review Committee to provide the option of expediting the judicial process. For a matter to be dispensed with at this hearing, the person appearing must plead guilty and accept the penalty offered by the Foul Play Review Committee. |

What about Britz? He retaliated, and also connected with the fist to the head.

Ek kan nie verstaan dat hy onskuldig pleit nie want hy het verseker 'n linkerhou gegooi wat Akker op die regterkant van die kop getref het, en retaliation is nie 'n verweer nie, so hy gaan (of behoort) skuldig bevind word, wat beteken dat sy straf swaarder as Akker sin behoort te wees omdat hy nie dadelik skuldig gepleit het nie. Akker het basies 3 weke af gekry van 6 weke omdat hy dadelik skuldig gepleit het, so Brits staan die gevaar om 6 weke te kry, -dalk 2 vir 'n goeie rekord

Ek dink dis 'n baie ligte straf. Die feit dat die houe nie skade gedoen het nie, verwyder nie die feit dat dit kon nie. My opinie behoort daar geen versagtende omstandighede te wees as jy vuisslaan nie. Dis nie soos om iemand in die lug te speel waar jy spoed onderskat, of die ou het laat gespring ens nie. Jy kies om 'n vuis te maak en te slaan. Punt. Altwee moes minstens 6 weke kry, verkieslik 8. My 5 sent.

Waar is die goeie ou dae wat die manne mekaar n lekker paar klappe gee en die game gaan voort of as dit nou n mooi hou was gaan staan jy so 5min agter die pale.
Schalk Brits het lekker gelag daaroor tussen die toeskouers maar hy beroof ou Akker van n hele paar duisend rand in wedstryd gelde

I saw a report on News 24 that Brits was slapped with a 4 week ban, which is ridiculous, considering that Akker was the aggressor, leading with his head at the ruck. Bulls are to appeal. Even if appeal is unsuccessful, Brits will miss 3 games due to the Bulls having a bye in that period.
I think that SANZAAR should change the sanction from weeks to matches played. It makes more sense to suspend a player for x amount of matches, because byes can play a huge factor in these sanctions.

I saw that article just now, sounds like he got a 4 week ban and the Bulls are taking it on appeal, so that is why there is another hearing tomorrow to hear the appeal.

Dit is belaglik om Brits langer te straf as Akker! Selfs al het hy die eerste hou gegooi, dit was 'n halfhartige poging wat nie eers ordentlik geconnect het nie. Daarteenoor het Akker hom op die grond vasgepen en herhaaldelik geslaan. Maar ja ons weet mos rugby se citings en strawwe maak nooit sin nie

Hulle kyk nie wie het eerste wat gedoen nie, hulle kyk wat jy self gedoen het. Vuisslaan begin by 6 weke , en dan kan jy weke afk kry as jy dadelik skuldig pleit en 'n goeie dissiplinere rekord het, so Akker het 3 weke af gekry. Brits het waarskynlik 'n swakker dissiplinere rekord omdat hy langer speel en dit verduidelik dalk die 2 weke wat hy af gekry het

Ek verbeel my ek het iewers gelees dit was sy eerste rooi kaart in sy hele loopbaan? So ek twyfel of hy 'n swakker rekord as Akker het.. En as mens kyk na wat hulle albei actually gedoen het was Akker se aksies baie erger as Brits sin..
Maar in elkgeval, hulle is nie Leeu spelers nie so dit maak nou mos nie eintlik vir ons saak nie..

Ek dink Brits het 'n ekstra week gekry omdat hy (net na hulle afgestuur is) so windgat en vermakerig tussen die toeskouers uitgehang het... asof hy nounet iets moerse great reggekry het.

Brits se verhoor het blykbaar al 7 uur vanoggend begin en ek het nog niks gesien daaroor nie, so ek neem aan hulle stry lekker in die verhoor!

Leeubok, that comes with the team wanting to dominate physically. There are often off the ball niggles, and testosterone explosions. Youngsters that cannot control emotions. Unfortunately, for the Sharks, I think the coach is part of the problem.
