Pretoria - Waratahs locks Pat O'Connor and Kane Douglas will face SANZAR judicial hearings in Pretoria on Saturday following two separate incidents in the Super Rugby match against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld on Friday evening.
O'Connor faces a mandatory hearing after receiving a red card for a head butt after an assistant referee's report in the 67th minute of the match.
Douglas has been cited for an alleged contravention of Foul Play Law 10.4 (e) dangerous tackling of a player above the shoulders and around the neck; and law 10.4 (m) an act contrary to good sportsmanship.
The citing relates to an incident in the 38th minute of the match in which Douglas executed a dangerous tackle on Bulls centre Wynand Olivier. Douglas is alleged to have grabbed Olivier in a headlock and flipped him over, placing his head and neck at risk. The lock was penalised by the match referee for the incident.
The hearings are scheduled to commence at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria at 10h00 (SA time) and will be chaired by SANZAR judicial officer, Jannie Lubbe SC.
The Waratahs are due to leave South Africa for Australia on Saturday evening.
