Alex Nankivell Free to Play

In the Round 14 Vodacom URC Connacht v Munster game (Saturday, March 29) the referee Craig Evans showed the Player (Alex Nankivell, No. 12) a Red Card in the 25th minute of the game under Law 9.20a – A Player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made without binding onto another player in the ruck or maul.

Following the original Disciplinary hearing on Wednesday April 2, the Player exercised his right to appeal. An Appeal Panel consisting of Rod McKenzie (Chair, Scotland), Achille Reali (Italy) & Rory Bannerman (Scotland) met Wednesday April 9, to review. The appeal was upheld by the Panel and the Player is free to play in Munster Rugby’s Investec Champions Cup Quarter Final clash on Saturday April 12.

  1. Gary Player Made Golf More Interesting in South Africa: Even though South Africa has witnessed many excellent golf players, Gary Player remains unbeatable. Yes, we agree that Ernie Els was also a great golf player, but still, most golf lovers believe in the supremacy of Gary, and so do we!
