David Pocock suspended for three weeks
Pocock grasped the neck of Chiefs Michael Leitch during a maul in the match between the Brumbies and Chiefs in Canberra and has received a three-week suspension.
"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 I accepted the player’s admission that he had committed an act of foul play contrary to law 10.4(e)," said SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Adam Cassleden who assessed the case.
Pocock has been given a three-week suspension for the incident and is suspended up to and including Sunday 24th April. Due to the fact the Brumbies have a scheduled bye in Round 7, Pocock will miss Round 8 and Round 9 of Super Rugby, in effect making it a two match sanction.
