Jean Deysel of the Sharks received a red card for foul play during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.
He was cited following the game.
Deysel is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4 (b) Stamping or trampling. The incident occurred during the match between the Crusaders and Sharks at AMI Stadium, Addington in Christchurch on Saturday 17 May 2014. The referee for the match, Rohan Hoffman, issued a red card for the incident which occurred in the 16th minute.
The case is to be considered in the first instance by SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Nicholas Davidson QC.
All SANZAR disciplinary matters are in the first instance referred to a Duty Judicial Officer hearing to provide the option of expediting the judicial process.
For a matter to be dispensed with at this hearing, the person appearing must plead guilty and accept the penalty offered by the DJO.

Players like Deysel, Etzebeth, Bakkies etc. have short fuses and the opposition will always target these guys to gain the advantage.
I’m sure they prepare themselves for this but in the heat of the moment their natural instincts kick in.
@ Tuff Gong: Yes. But its their job. They have to be trained/indoctrinated(if you like) to understand that ‘losing it’ can cost them and their team. Etsabeth, for a young guy, controls it best out of the three you mention. He’s a big boy and mix it with the best of them. But, generally, he is in control. Bakkies didn’t. It took time for him to learn. Deysel was simply an idiot(yesterday). But his team fed off it and triumphed. It is going to cost him though. Very dear and its deserved.
dit was bietjie blatand gewees
@ Tassies:
Etsebeth controlled it really well that first year, but has gone off the boil since.
Deysel deserves a full season ban
Let’s the punishment fit the crime.
I propose he be forced to wear a Sharks jersey for a week in public and be forced to attend a braai at Puma’s Nkandla when they next slaughter an ox so he can suffer through 5 hours of having to hear how wonderful Lambie is.
@ nortierd:
and he must polish the lambstatue
Force him to face Jeb Sinclair in the ring… 3 rounds of 2 minutes each.. no headgear, no quitting, no diving and no crying allowed…
a short extract of their previous encounter follows below.. check the right cross by Jeb :
He is off to Japan, what a sad way to end your career at the Sharks Deysel, probably going to get a lengthy ban
@Gen Za, he could have broken the guys neck that probably would have been sader. 110 kg stomping on somebodies neck there is no need to feel sorry for the guy.
@ NZINCHINA:
Funny how you always condone your self righteous KIWI cheating ways, I have no problem with Deysels red card.
The Yellow for Alberts was a disgrace, you Teams hold players etc etc etc all the damn time, funny how no yellow or penalties for this against the Saders?
Maybe you should read the Blog comments by DECENT Kiwi bloggers and see how they admit to this and feel it is wrong, SOMETHING YOU FIND HARD TO ADMIT?
Cape Town – Former Springbok coach Nick Mallett has called for “sharper eyes” from referees to spot niggling off-the-ball incidents in rugby.
Mallett was speaking on SuperSport after the weekend’s Super Rugby matches.
He was referring to the incident in which Sharks flank Jean Deysel was red-carded in their match against the Crusaders in Christchurch. Deysel received his marching orders for stamping on the face of Crusaders flank Jordan Taufua in the 16th minute on the game, which the Sharks remarkably won 30-25.
Mallett agreed that Deysel deserved to see red, but is upset at what caused Deysel to lose his cool.
Taufua, who was lying on the ground, had held Deysel back before the latter retaliated in frustration.
New Zealand teams have become notorious for holding players back off the ball and it’s something Mallett would like to see referees act upon.
“The player who holds you back is the one who initiates the problem. It was absolutely the right decision to send him (Deysel) off. I think a lot of what the All Blacks have done in the past is play players off the ball, hold players back, ruck past the ball and clear a player away and hold him so that he can’t get into the defensive line, and that is one of the most irritating things on the field,” said Mallett.
“South Africans, unfortunately, often get penalised for reacting, but what we need is sharper eyes from the referee to spot those indiscretions; the guys holding and pulling players back, because that’s what causes the problems in the first place.”
@ Sharks_forever:
Yes the Alberts yellow was uneccesarry.
As a ref he knew it was 14 aganist 15 at that stage and if he gave Alberts the yellow the game “should’ve been” a no contest or that was my thoughts at the time.
But the harder the battle the sweeter the victory.
Very true mate
