Cameron Shepherd issued an Off-Field Yellow Card



Cameron Shepherd of the Western Force has been issued with an off-field yellow card for contravening Law 10.4 (e) Dangerous Tackling during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.



The incident occurred in the 34rd minute of the match between the Western Force and Hurricanes played NIB Stadium on Friday the 9th of March 2012.



An Off-Field Yellow Card may be issued by the SANZAR Citing Commissioner for foul play incidents that are very close to, but in his opinion do not meet the Red Card threshold for Citings.



In this case the incident was not acted on by the referee for the match and on further review of the match footage the Citing Commissioner deemed an Off-Field Yellow Card was appropriate.

just saw the incident - it was for no arms in the tackle against Bateman. Prob more the case of a cynical foul for stopping the run, rather than dangerous tackle

I think the point is that if a player picks up a certain amount of yellow cards (3 I think) they have to face a panel which could lead to a suspension. David Croft picked one up a couple of years back I think. So these off field cards would contribute to that.

He's presently a waste of space do does it matter?
