As expected, Shilo Klein has received a 3-week suspension.
The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee has accepted a guilty plea from Shilo Klein of the Crusaders for contravening Law 9.13 - A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously, after he was Red Carded during a Super Rugby Pacific Match on the weekend.
Klein has been suspended from from all forms of the game up to and including 24 April 2022.
The incident occurred in the 77th minute of the match between the Crusaders and Highlanders played at Orangetheory Stadium in Christchurch on 1 April 2022.
The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee of Michael Heron QC (Chairman), Stefan Terblanche and John Langford assessed the case.
In his finding, Foul Play Review Committee Chairman Michael Heron 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, Aaron Lloyd, the Foul Play Review Committee upheld the Red Card under Law 9.13."
"With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks due to the World Rugby instructions that dictate any incident of foul play involving contact with the head must start at a mid-range level. Taking into account mitigating factors including the Player's clean judicial record, his acceptance of foul play and his expressed remorse, the Judicial Committee reduced the suspension to 3 weeks."
"The Player was informed of his ability to apply for the Head Contact Process Coaching Intervention. Any player who has a citing or red card upheld by a disciplinary panel for foul play involving the Head Contact Process may apply to have the final week of their sanction substituted by undertaking a coaching intervention that specifically addresses the technical tackle/contact technique-error that caused or contributed to the foul play. This intervention will be overseen by the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Expert Review Panel – a panel of expert independent coaches - and is only be available to first time offenders."
"The player is therefore suspended for 3 weeks, up to and including 29 April 2022.” -

@chris will be interesting to see how he comes back, obviously the rugby brain will still be there, but more if he loses pace, might force the move to 12 anyway, where I think he has the tools, but we know it ain't just 13 standing next to the 10.

12 maybe the spot for Jack he is a smart player.
The Crusaders are liking the Havilli,LF combo in SR it will be interesting with Ennor as well I think Ennor should move to the wing.

It will most definitely (by round 10) - Mo'unga, Havili, Goodhue, Reece, Jordan, Leicester.

I wouldn't mind that either.

Jack Goodhue not far away from playing,A club game probably first,I would expect to see him for Rd 10.
Sione Havili also due back then, both are back into contact training.

Goodhues' potential return certainly creates a logjam at 13. In the backs the certainties for mine outside halfback are Mo'unga, Havili'i (say what you like about his AB status but he's a stud at 12 at SR level) and Jordan at 15. So the three-quarters are a free-for-all and there are so many potential combinations it's not funny between Bridge, Reece, Ennor, Leicester and Goodhue. One of those guys misses the 23 entirely. And then we still have Fihaki lingering about. I'm not game to pick the combo Razor might settle on if/when all fit, but my ideal is probably Goodhue 13, Reece and Leicester on the wings and Ennor on the bench. Jordan at 15, Richie at 10 and I don't mind who at 9 of Hall, Drummond and TTT. Then one of the latter on the bench along with Fergus Burke.
