Queensland Reds prop Sef Faagase has been cited for alleged foul play in his team’s 15-13 Super Rugby defeat to the NSW Waratahs.
Faagase is alleged to have struck Waratahs replacement hooker Hugh Roach with his knee after a collapsed scrum in the 43rd minute of the match at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Sunday.
The 24-year-old went unpenalised on the field but his front-row teammate Andrew Ready was yellow carded over the incident.
Upon further review of the match footage, the citing commissioner deemed that in his opinion Faagase’s actions had met the red card threshold for foul play, SANZAAR said in a statement on Sunday night.
The citing is to be considered in the first instance by SANZAAR Duty Judicial Officer Robert Stelzner SC.
For a matter to be dispensed with at this hearing, the person appearing must plead guilty and accept the penalty offered by the judicial officer.
