Sam Cane citing dismissed
Chiefs flanker Sam Cane found not guilty of contravening Law 10.4 (e) Dangerous Tackling after he was cited during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.
Cane allegedly contravened the law when he made contact with the Jaguares' Nahuel Chaparro at a tackle contest during the match between the Jaguares and Chiefs at Velez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires on 19 March 2016.
"The contact between the shoulder of Mr Cane and the head of Mr Chaparro was unintentional and not able to be foreseen for that reason," ruled the Judicial committee.
"The Committee considered that what occurred could not be described as a tackle because Mr Chaparro was not the ball carrier. For those reasons, the citing was dismissed."
