OTAGO centre Jeremy Stanley has been suspended for three weeks after being cited for a dangerous tackle during a Super 12 match against the Sharks in Durban on Friday. The Sharks won the match 32-8. Stanley’s opposite number, Shaun Payne, did not have the ball when the New Zealander collided with him at full speed. Australian referee Wayne Erickson mistakenly gave Stanley’s centre partner, Pita Alatini, a yellow card for the offence on the information of South African touch judge Andre Watson. Only when officials viewed television replays later was Stanley identified as the culprit. A disciplinary committee, which included former Springbok captain Wynand Claassen and two Durban lawyers, found Stanley guilty and imposed a sentence which will see him miss Otago’s matches against the Chiefs, Canterbury and Queensland.
