Raymond Rhule suspended for 3 weeks
Raymond Rhule has been hit with a three week ban after his red card in the Stormers’ 23-26 defeat to Lions at Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday. The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee accepted a guilty plea from Rhule for contravening Law 9.25: A player must not intentionally charge or obstruct an opponent who has just kicked the ball. He is now suspended from all forms of the game for three weeks, up to and including 22 June 2018. The incident occurred in the 50th minute of the match between the Stormers and Lions played at DHL Newlands in Cape Town on 26 May 2018. The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee of Nigel Hampton QC (Chairman), Stefan Terblanche and Stephen Hardy assessed the case. In his finding, Foul Play Review Committee Chairman Nigel Hampton QC 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, Adrian Montzinger, the Foul Play Review Committee upheld the Red Card under Law 9.25” “With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks, especially given that that act resulted in a blow to the opposing player’s head. However, taking into account mitigating factors including the Player’s excellent Judicial record, his good character and his early guilty plea 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 22 June 2018.” -

There's a man who clearly never wants to see another beep test. Imagine the drive and fortitude it must have taken to get him Test fit.
