3-week ban for Pocock
Print Edition
AUSTRALIA loose forward David Pocock has been suspended for three weeks after pleading guilty to a charge of playing an opponent without the ball in the ACT Brumbies’ 23-48 Super Rugby loss to the Waikato Chiefs last Saturday.
Pocock grasped the neck of Chiefs No. 8 Michael Leitch in a maul six minutes from the end of the game, leaving the Japan skipper stricken on the ground, but did not receive any sanction from Australian referee Angus Gardner. The 27-year-old will only miss two Super Rugby matches, away against the NSW Waratahs (April 16) and home to the Canterbury Crusaders (April 24), as the Canberra-based side have a bye this coming weekend. “With respect to sanction, I deemed the act of foul play merited a low-end entry point of two weeks,” (governing body) SANZAAR duty judicial officer Adam Cassleden said in a statement yesterday.
