The Blues winger Rene Ranger has been suspended for one match following a SANZAR judicial hearing in South Africa.
He was found guilty of a dangerous tackle during the Super 14 match between the Blues and Bulls in Pretoria yesterday morning.
The judicial officer found Ranger guilty of making a high and late tackle on Bulls hooker Derick Kuun in the 32nd minute of the first half of the match. Kuun required treatment in the blood bin as a result of the tackle.
The ban means Ranger will not be available for the Blues' match against the Stormers in Cape Town next weekend.
Lions players Jannie Boshoff and Heinke van der Merwe will appear before a SANZAR judicial officer tomorrow after being cited for a dangerous tackle on Francois Steyn in the 76th minute of the match between the Sharks and the Lions yesterday.
