The Disciplinary process related to Scott Scrafton Red Card in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship Round 2 game against Glasgow Warriors on Friday, September 27 has resulted in a four game suspension.
After an act of foul play by Benetton player No 4 (Scott Scrafton), referee Marius van der Westhuizen showed the Player a Red Card in the 39th minute of the game under Law 9.11 – Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others including leading with the elbow or forearm, or jumping into, or over, a tackler.
In the Player’s responses to the Judicial Officer overseeing the disciplinary process (Rhian Williams, Wales), he had accepted that he had committed an act of foul play which warranted a Red Card. Ms. Williams found that the incident met the Red Card threshold, with entry of mid-range warranting six weeks. The Player received two weeks mitigation due to his acceptance of committing an act of foul play and his immediate apology before leaving the field which results in a four game suspension.
