Matt Toomua issued an Off Field Yellow Card
Matt Toomua of the Brumbies 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 Toomua made contact with Sharks #10 Patrick Lambie in a tackle. The incident occurred in the 51st minute of the match between the Sharks and Brumbies played at Kings Park in Durban on 16 March 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 did not act the incident on as a try was scored from the advantage being played. On further review of the match footage the Citing Commissioner deemed an Off-Field Yellow Card was appropriate.
