DISCIPLINARY UPDATE - COPELAND & WILLIAMS RED CARDS & CITING

The tackle, in the 6th minute of the match resulted in the referee awarding a yellow card to the player, but the independent Citing Commissioner, following his review, deemed that the tackle was sufficiently dangerous to have warranted a red card and cited the player.

The date of the disciplinary hearings for Liam Williams, who was later dismissed with a red card following a second yellow card being awarded to him, and Robin Copeland, Cardiff Blues number 8 forward, dismissed with a red card in the same match, will be confirmed later.


Law 10.4 (e): Dangerous tackling. A player must not tackle an opponent whose feet are off the ground
