Shaw cited for 'kneeing incident'

[Cymro]

British and Irish Lions lock Simon Shaw has been cited for dangerous play in the Lions 28-9 victory over South Africa in the third Test.

The Wasps forward was sin-binned for putting his knee into the back of Springboks scrum-half Fourie du Preez.

Australian referee Stuart Dickinson showed Shaw the yellow card in the 37th minute of the game at Ellis Park.

If Shaw is found guilty at a hearing on Sunday he could miss the opening games of next season's Premiership campaign.

Shaw is the second Lions player to be cited on their 10-match South Africa tour - Scotland forward Nathan Hines received a one-week ban for a dangerous tackle during the 13-13 draw against the Emerging Springboks in Cape Town.

Judicial officer Alan Hudson of Canada will meet with Shaw in Johannesburg to determine his punishment.

Hudson is the officer who presided over the citing hearings of South African pair Schalk Burger and Bakkies Botha after the second Test.

Burger was banned for eight weeks by the International Rugby Board for making contact with the eye area of Lions wing Luke Fitzgerald, while Botha was banned for two weeks for dangerous charging which left Lions prop Adam Jones with a dislocated shoulder.

In a controversial move South Africa's players and coaches wore white armbands featuring the word "Justice" during the third Test as a protest against Botha's two-week suspension.

Oh dear Hudson is arguably the worst citing bloke in history ...watch out Shaw to be banned for 6 months!

Quite right too, I would guess at a 2-4 weeker for that.

2 theorys

1. He's never manged to behave himself for a game, has a track record of getting sin-binned and sent off starting back with his time with Bristol years ago.

2. He only had steak in his half time pie and wanted a British classic so needed to go to the butchers for some kidneys but worked out there was plenty out on the pitch so just moved in to purchase.

:scratch_one-s_head: not sure which

I didn't think there ws much in it. The whole slow motion thing making stuff look worse than it is. Looked more like he tripped and went down him. But still it was Shaw so you never know. Won't be a big ban anyway. Shur he'll be getting the first couple of weeks of next season off anyway!

Agree don't think he will get big ban

 

[Hall]

Shaw is aggressive, but a good Rugby player because of it. I didn't see the game but if he did something illegal then ban him.

 

[munross]

Shaw is a dirty SOB, put in how many high tackels in the last test and now this!?It was blatant and deserves nothing less then 4 weeks, could have broke du Preez in half!stupid c**t!

 

[monkeypigeon]

JDV was right about that one alright. seemed to have his arm wrapped around someones neck everytime he tackles someone.

Classic:

SA side blames everything on Lions and says they are bad

On the other hand Lions do the same


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

From one angle it looked like he just dropped into the guys back, but from the other it looked like he went to kick the ball, then tripped and just happened to land knees first,
Personally i believe it was probably a mixture of the two (wasn't entirely intentional, but he wasn't exactly upset that it happened)
Don't think he should get banned, but if he does it should only be a couple of weeks like Botha (who was wrongly banned, imo)

Well this is the reason for our wish for Shaw not to get big ban

 

[shtove]

Don't think it was an accident, and a knee in the back is dangerous. Hefty ban.

But the Canadian solicitor judging the matter tied himself up in knots in finding Burger didn't gouge, so who knows?

He is a dirty player no doubt, but no worse than Botha or Burger.

Botha put Adam Jones out for the majority of next season.
Burger tried to put Luke's eye out.
Pietersen tried to take Luke's head off.

Like it or not, this kind of stuff will always happen.

 

[bristol-iain]

If I remeber rightly didnt Mike Phillips do something similar against Ireland couple years ago.

Was he banned, I know he was binned at the time.

 

[MunsterMan]

He got all of 10 minutes, only difference is the whistle was gone and he definitely meant it, where as even though Shaw's dropped knee was deliberate, he can play a strong "It woz and accident" defence, otherwise known as the Burger defence, so will get off scot free if they are consistent.
