Hurricanes duo escape with warnings

Both were given the warning for contravening Law 10.4(i) Tackling the jumper in the air at a line-out during the Super Rugby Final on the weekend.

The incident occurred in the 14th minute of the match at Westpac Stadium in Wellington against the Lions. 

A Citing Commissioner Warning may be issued by the SANZAAR Citing Commissioner for foul play incidents that are very close to, but in his opinion do not meet, the Red Card threshold for citings.

Upon further review of the match footage the Citing Commissioner deemed a Citing Commissioner Warning was appropriate.
