Moriarty to Miss Three

The Disciplinary process related to Ross Moriarty Red Card in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship Round 13 game against Benetton on Saturday March 21 has resulted in a three game suspension.

After an act of foul play by Ospreys player No. 8 (Ross Moriarty), referee Ian Kenny showed the Player a Red Card in the 63rd minute of the game under Law 9.20a – Dangerous play in ruck or maul. A Player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made with out binding onto another player in the ruck or maul

In the Player’s response to the Panel overseeing the disciplinary process Jennifer Donovan (Chair, Ireland), Donal Courtney (Ireland) and Stefan Terblanche (South Africa) he accepted that he had committed an act of foul play. The Panel found that the incident met the Red Card threshold, with entry of mid-range warranting six weeks. The Player received three weeks (50%) mitigation due to his good record, remorse and exemplary conduct throughout the disciplinary process which results in a three game suspension.

Should the Player complete the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme then the sanction will be reduced by one week.
