Following initial consideration by the SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Adam Casselden, Chiliboy Ralepelle of the Bulls will appear at a SANZAR Judicial Hearing after being cited for alleged foul play during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.
Ralepelle is alleged to have contravened two laws; Law 10.4 (h) A player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made without use of the arms, or without grasping a player. Law 10.4 (k) Players must not charge into a ruck or maul without binding onto a player in the ruck or maul. Ralepelle made contact at a ruck with Force #11 Alfi Mafi in the 11th minute of the match between the Bulls and the Western Force at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on 2 March 2013.
The Judicial Officer for the Hearing will be Jannie Lubbe SC which will be held by video conference at 5:30pm SAST on 4th March, 4:30am NZDT on 5th March, 2:30am AEDT on 5th March.
The Bulls travel to New Zealand this week, with their first touring match to be against the resurgent Blues.
