Will Skelton
Tolu Latu
The Waratahs have formally appealed against the bans slapped on 2 of their players and the new hearing will take place on Thursday.
The judicial hearing held on Monday 25 May found Will Skelton and Silatolu (Tolu) Latu guilty of contravening Law 10.4 (j): Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving that player into the ground whilst that player’s feet are still off the ground such that the player’s head and / or upper body come into contact with the ground is dangerous play.
Skelton was given 2 weeks and Latu handed 4, for spear tackling Crusaders’ lock Sam Whitelock.
Both players are on tour with the Waratahs and are currently in Johannesburg expecting their suspensions to be thrown out.
A SANZAR Appeals Committee, chaired by Lex Mpati, with Adam Casselden and Chris Morris as members, will hear the appeal via video conference on Thursday 28 May.

Appeal all they like………………………..The evidence is there for all to see.
Why they are Appealing is beyond me. …………………………………..Skelton was playing like he wanted to be Cited.

They got away with a Red, both
so their confidence level is high (if indeed it was their motion to appeal)
“Skelton was playing like he wanted to be Cited.” 😉
we call it differently here, 😆

I actually thought that Skelton was playing with a view to someone losing their rag and plastering his (Skelton’s) nose all over his face.
