Outcome of Matfield Disciplinary Hearing PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 23 February 2010 00:00

Vodacom Bulls lock Victor Matfield was found not guilty of foul play after being cited following Saturday’s Vodacom Super 14 match against the Brumbies in Pretoria. The Vodacom Bulls defeated the Brumbies 50-32.

Matfield appeared before a SANZAR Judicial Committee which was chaired by Advocate Jannie Lubbe in Pretoria on Monday. He was represented at the hearing by Stephan Weyers.

The Vodacom Bulls lock was cited under Law 10.4 (a) for striking Brumbies flanker Rocky Elsom around the head area in the 16th minute of the match.

SANZAR Judicial Officer Advocate Lubbe viewed the available video angles and deemed that Matfield cleared Elsom in a lawful manner.

As a result, he will be available for selection for the Vodacom Bulls’ next Vodacom Super 14 match against the HSBC Waratahs in Pretoria on Saturday.
