Western Province and Stormers forward Michael Rhodes will appear before a South African Rugby Union (SARU) judicial committee on Thursday for a dangerous tackle in last year’s Currie Cup final against The Sharks at Newlands.

The disciplinary hearing was initially set to take place in the week following the match, but had to be rescheduled twice, resulting in a postponement until January.
Rhodes was cited for a dangerous tackle in the second half of the Currie Cup final when he placed his arm around Sharks hooker Bismarck du Plessis’ neck in a maul and maintained his grip for a few seconds. This was in breach of law 10.4 (e) relating to dangerous tackling.
The hearing will take place in Cape Town on Thursday at 10:00.
Adv Donny Jacobs will serve as the Judicial Officer.
Why has it taken so long, what were the postponements for?
Maybe he went over his quota of hearings for the year?
This likely wont be the last one for the year. Ridiculous this guy got a one week ban for stepping on someones face lol
By those standard. For his chokehold on Bissie his punishment will be a lammie from a 12 year old girl.
@ MacroBull:
Or a weekend with the terrible trio of Regan Hoskins, Mark Alexander and Jurie Roux on a refresher course of “How to win friends and influence people”.
Isn’t it like prosecuting one of Dingaan’s living family members for the murder of Piet Retief?
Well got off scot free.. well that was predictable haha
