Thomas Dominguez Out for Three

The Disciplinary process related to Thomas Dominguez 20 minute Red Card in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship Round 5 game against Leinster Rugby on Saturday October 25 has resulted in a three game suspension.

The Player (Thomas Dominguez), received a 20 minute Red Card in the 36th minute of the game under Law 9.13 – A player must not tackle an opponent early, late, or dangerously. Dangerous tackling includes, but is not limited to, tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders.

In the Player’s responses to the Judicial Officer overseeing the disciplinary process (Mr. Neil Snellenburg SC), he had accepted that he had committed an act of foul play which warranted a Red Card. Mr. Snellenburg 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, apology, remorse and exemplary conduct throughout the disciplinary process which results in a three game suspension.
