Ono suspended for two weeks
The SANZAAR Duty Judicial Officer Michael Heron QC has accepted a guilty
plea from Hitoshi Ono of the Sunwolves for contravening Law 10.4 (a)
Striking with head, after he was cited during a Super Rugby Match at the
Weekend.
"Hitoshi Ono is currently the most capped Japanese player (96 caps). He has a remarkable disciplinary record in that he has not been cited or received a red card before this. He is a leader in his club and for his country. He appears to have an exceptional disciplinary record," said SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Michael Heron QC who assessed the case.
Ono received a sanction of one week (covering one scheduled match) with his next scheduled match being Japan v Canada, 11 June 2016. Consequently he is suspended up to and including Saturday 11 June 2016.
