Golden Lions duo cleared at hearing

Editor

Golden Lions hooker Robbie Coetzee and centre Rohan Janse Van Rensburg are free to play this week following disciplinary hearings on Monday.

The pair are cleared to face Western Province on Friday.

Blue Bulls full-back Duncan Matthews, meanwhile, will have a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday after being cited for a dangerous tackle in their clash against Western Province on Saturday.

Coetzee received a red card in the 51st minute against the Sharks after his boot made contact with an opposition player’s face, but his actions were deemed as "entirely accidental" with no intention of kicking his opponent.

Janse van Rensburg’s citing, also for a dangerous tackle, was not upheld.

The outcome of Matthews’ disciplinary hearing is expected to be announced on Tuesday.
