Hayden Triggs Red Carded for punching Duane Vermeulen
Veteran Blues lock Hayden Triggs will front up to a SANZAR disciplinary hearing, after he received a Red Card for punching during his team’s Super Rugby loss to the Stormers.
Triggs stands accused of having contravened Law 10.4 (a): Punching or striking.
It follows an incident that occurred in the 24th minute of the match between the DHL Stormers and Blues at Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday.
The case is to be considered in the first instance by SANZAR duty judicial officer Robert Stelzner.
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.
The incident is shown in the LEFT TOP THIRD corner… in the sunlight strip, in this video clip.
Clear punching, he will rest a few weeks, I think!
Premeditated move to take Vermeulen out…..they probably thought it would be worth having a player off for 10 minutes with a yellow if they can moer Thor off the field. The shock on his face when it backfired and he received red was priceless though
@ grootblousmile:
Okaaayy, NOU sien ek wat gebeur het! Het tydens die wedstryd die losgemaal op die voorgrond dopgehou, terwyl die oorteding teen die kantlyn was.
Thx man.
Triggs kan maar sy stewels eers bere, hy gaan nie gou weer speel nie. So vroeg in die seisoen gaan hulle hom hard straf, dink ek. Blatante vuilspel gewees.

Ek het spesiaal aan jou gedink toe ek die Youtube Clip gesoek het om op te sit… hehehe
Snaaks, so gedog toe ek die clip sien!
Maar dom van Triggs, hoe het hy gedink sou hy wegkom met soiets? In ons twee se dae was dit niks, manne het mekaar maar oor die algemeen gemoer weg van die spel af, en selfs die lynregter kon niks doen nie.
Gys Pitzer het daai Fransman Alain Plantefol in die lynstaan platgeslaan reg voor die hoofpawiljoen op Nuweland, en almal het gekraai daaroor! Koerante was vol foto’s van die pragtige regterhaak. Kobus Wiese ook, slaan vir Thomas (as ek reg onthou) van Wallis plat ten aanskoue van die wereld, en ref kon niks doen, het agter sy rug gebeur….
Two punches no doubt.
Definitely a Red Card.
But at a rough guess,
I’m picking Duane got something he asked for.
More kiwi thuggery.
@ gunther:
Well cunther,
Nortie seems to agree with you………………………….”Premeditated move to take Vermeulen out…..”.
I on the other hand,
have a more balanced and wholesome view of humanity.
And do believe, Duane was most likely wacked in retaliation.
I see he’s been suspended for 1 week.
I think that’s fair, since he has already made his team play with 14 men for most of 1 match, most definitely contributing to the loss.
Duanne seemed ok, but it could have broken a jaw or something like that, especially with Duanne being such a valuable player to not just the Stormers but SA Rugby.
They forgot we breed them tough here!
Kiwi tactics.
Briggs will be hoping he never plays against Duane again.
@ shooter:
I am sure Triggs learnt his lesson and wont let himself be provoked again 😀
Baaaad behaviour. Disgusting
That’s 3 kiwi punching episodes in one week.
A little too much jungle juice in their pro nutro?
Maybe they’re using sheep jism as a masking agent.
