De Bruyn banned

De Bruyn banned

12 May 2009

Cheetahs scrumhalf Tewis de Bruyn has been banned for three weeks for a dangerous tackle on Akona Ndungane.

De Bruyn received a yellow card for the tackle during his side’s 29-20 loss to the Bulls and pleaded guilty to the charge.

Judicial officer Jannie Lubbe heard evidence from the player and Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske, while he viewed video footage as well as reports from the match referee and assistant referee.

Lubbe decided the incident was a dangerous tackle at mid entry level that requires a sanction of six weeks. However, the mitigating circumstances meant the suspension was reduced to three weeks from all rugby.

De Bruyn will miss the match against the Stormers, but will be available to face the British & Irish Lions on 6 June, although he can appeal the decision.

Sarel Pretorius is the likely replacement for the Cheetahs’ final Super 14 fixture.

    I don’t think any SA sides would have any difficulty winning the Heineken Cup. And that includes the Lions and Cheetahs.

    The Heineken Cup in no S14.

    #143 SodaJoe: thats because you’re biased towards your own teams. You’re speaking from the heart and I can understand that.

    I watch both and I know the Cheetahs aren’t going to go to Toulouse and beat them in their backyard, that’s most of the France team you’re talking about. Likewise, the Lions aren’t going to beat Munster in Ireland. From time to time NH clubs play SH clubs and it’s always competitive.

    #148 carol: no, you heading to the final?

    #115 SodaJoe: Good points Soda again nice problems to have !!!! I thought that JDEV totally outplayed Frans when they went head to head, again I put a premium on us winning the 1st test and would play JDEV there,however, I am a huge fan of Frans and would be comfortable if PDEV opted for him.

    Tend to agree
    Reckon the top 8 Super 14 teams can run with the Heiniken big boys
    Doubt the the lower 6 would make the Heiniken semi’s

    As ‘n mens na die S14 seisoen kyk tot dusver, dan sien ek net twee redes waarom die Sharks die Bulls kan wen:

    1. tuisveld voordeel
    2. Bulls is oorgerus en het ‘n afdag.

    Wie verskil met my, of kan nog redes gee waarom die Sharks kan wen ?

    #175 grant10: Marinos doesn’t seem like a guy who would let his ego get in the way though, I expect him to come to a good deal for SA. O’Neill is a whole lot of talk.

    There are too many 3N rounds but it brings in a huge amount of money as far as I know.

    So maybe this will work.

    Every 2 years after RWC – we have the Super Duper 10 Cup – combining 3N, 6N & Argentina.

    And we have the Champions League – pitting the top 4 S14, top 4 Guinness Premiership, top 4 magner’s, top 4 French clubs/franchises.

    The year is alo 385 days long. But hey …
