Kriel citing thrown out
Updated | By Jacasport
A SANZAAR Judicial Committee Hearing has found Jaco Kriel of the Lions not guilty of contravening Law 10.4(o) Late charging the Kicker, after he was cited during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.

No further sanction has been imposed on the player.
The incident occurred in the 26th minute of the match between the Stormers and
Lions played at DHL Newlands, Cape Town on Saturday 15 April 2017.
The SANZAAR Judicial Hearing held via video conference on Wednesday 19 April
2017was heard by Andre Oosthuizen (Chairman), David Croft and Eroni Clarke.
In his finding, the Judicial Committee Chairman Andre Oosthuizen 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, Frikkie Erasmus, the Judicial
Committee concluded that the Red Card threshold had not been met to satisfy the
citing and that the on field Yellow Card was sufficient."
"The Judicial Committee found that the Player came into contact with the
opposing Fly Half in the course of the Player attempting to charge down, that
his action did not amount to an intentional late charge or obstruction and
accordingly had not committed a transgression of Law 10.4(o)."
"The player is therefore free to resume playing.”
Coming out of the hearing on Wednesday morning Kriel was focused and relieved.
“I am very thankful for the way in which Sanzaar and the panel handled my case. I am just focusing on the game at hand against the Jaguares at home at Emirates Airline Park this weekend,” Kriel commented.
