5 Game ‘Holiday’ for Harri Morris

The Disciplinary process related to Harri Morris Red Card in the rescheduled Vodacom United Rugby Championship Round 2 game against Ulster Rugby on Friday, March 13 has resulted in a five game suspension.

After an act of foul play by Edinburgh Rugby player No 16 (Harri Morris), referee Federico Vedovelli showed the Player a Yellow Card in the 63rd minute of the game, which was upgraded to a Red Card following an off-field review. The Red Card was issued under Law 9.17 – A player must not tackle, charge, pull, push or grasp an opponent whose feet are off the ground.

In the Player’s responses to the Judicial Officer overseeing the disciplinary process (Mr. Declan Goodwin), he had accepted that he had committed an act of foul play which warranted a Red Card. Mr. Goodwin found that the incident met the Red Card threshold, with entry of mid-range warranting eight weeks. The Player received three weeks mitigation due to his acceptance of the Red Card, apology and remorse and full engaged participation in the disciplinary process which results in a five game suspension.

  2. Sport Trivia: Which South African who played between 1949 and 1960 was named a Wisden Cricketer of the year in 1956? Answer: Hugh Tayfield. Hugh Tayfield once bowled 137 consecutive dot balls in a 1956/57 Test match against England which was held in Durban. Statistics for bowlers who have played 20 or more tests show that Hugh Tayfield conceded only 1.64 runs per over during his test career.
