Ma’a Nonu issued an Off-Field Yellow Card
Ma’a Nonu of the Highlanders has been issued with an off-field yellow card for contravening Law 10.4 (e) Dangerous Tackling during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.
The incident occurred when Nonu tackled Crusaders player Dan Carter in the 48th minute of the match between the Highlanders and Crusaders at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on 29th June 2013.
An Off-Field Yellow Card 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.
In this case the referee for the match did not act upon the incident. Upon further review of the match footage the Citing Commissioner deemed an Off-Field Yellow Card was appropriate.
