- 1833
Timisoara Saracens flanker, Randall Morrison, has been suspended for two weeks for a dangerous tackle on Harlequins wing, Marland Yarde, in the 3rd minute of his club's European Rugby Challenge Cup match
An independent Disciplinary Committee found that the offence was at the low end of World Rugby's sanctions and selected two weeks as the appropriate entry point. The Committee than added one week to the sanction in accordance with World Rugby's memorandum regarding dangerous tackles.
Taking into account Morrison's clean disciplinary record, his guilty plea and expression of remorse, the Committee decided to reduce the sanction by one week before imposing a two-week suspension.
As Timisoara Saracens have no competitive matches until Round 5 of the Challenge Cup, Morrison will be free to play on Monday, 23 January 2017.
Both the player and EPCR have the right to appeal the decision.
