Off-field yellow cards for two 'Canes

Published: Saturday, 3. March, 2012 in category Super Rugby

Hurricanes forwards Tristan Moran and Jason Eaton have both been shown off-field yellow cards following their 30-28 victory over the Lions on Friday.

Moran has been cited for his late tackle on Lions flyhalf Elton Jantjies, for which referee Steve Walsh penalised the Hurricanes, however on further review of the match footage the Citing Commissioner deemed an Off-Field Yellow Card was appropriate.

Eaton's off-field yellow card is for stamping, which wasn't seen by Walsh, and the Citing Commissioner deemed an Off-Field Yellow Card was appropriate.

The Hurricanes have had some problems with their discipline this season already, after having three players sent to the sin bin in their opening defeat to the Stormers in Cape Town.
