Steyn suspended
23 Oct 2012
Morne Steyn received a one-week ban after being found guilty at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
Steyn was cited for allegedly breaching law 10.4 (a) which deals with the striking of an opponent with, for instance the arm, during following Blue Bulls’ 20-3 semi-final loss against The Sharks in Durban last Saturday.
The Springbok flyhalf is banned from all forms of rugby until 28 October.
Prop Morne Mellet was also cited for his trip on Sharks flyhalf Pat Lambie. But it was decided that the yellow card issued to him in the 30th minute was sufficient punishment.

Allegedly? – Either he did or he didn’t.
Striking a player is not to be condoned, but STEYNE!
Give the man a cigar, never thought he had it in him.

Should have been banned for the first few weeks of the S15.
Probably a good thing he isnt banned though.
A good thing for the opposition that is.

the sighting business is so poorly adminstered.
steyn in fact misses no games
what a joke
and this we call justice
players will realise that if this type of sentence is imposed then they have nothing to fear and the game must suffer
and then the officers in charge always bring in the fact that the players have no record
did you see how the player whom he hit lay in pain suffering on the field?
skande- dis al wat ek se
