Kaino 'warned' over high tackle

By
Friday 11 Mar 2016

He was warned for contravening Law 10.4 (e): Dangerous tackling around the head.

The incident occurred when Kaino tackled Hurricanes hooker 2 Leni Apisai without the ball in the 24th minute of the match at Eden Park, Auckland.  

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.

In this case the referee for the match did act upon the incident issuing a penalty.

Upon further review of the match footage the citing commissioner deemed a citing commissioner warning was appropriate.
