Keats banned

WELLINGTON Hurricanes scrumhalf Tyson Keats was banned for four weeks for dangerous play yesterday in an ongoing crackdown on spear-tackling in Super 15 rugby. Spear or tip tackling, where a player lifts an opponent into the air and returns him to the ground head first, has been the target of severe punishment this season. Keats was given a yellow card for his tackle on his Auckland Blues opposite number Alby Mathewson soon after coming onto the field as a replacement in a match last Friday, which the Hurricanes lost 11-17.
