Coetzee, Janse Van Rensburg cleared to face WP

Cape Town - Golden Lions hooker Robbie Coetzee and centre Rohan Janse Van Rensburg will be allowed to participate in their team’s Currie Cup clash against Western Province this weekend following disciplinary hearings on Monday.

Blue Bulls fullback 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.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
