The Boland Rugby Union has served charge sheets on the two clubs involved in the match in which Riaan Loots was fatally injured earlier this year.
Attorney for the union Chris Faure said on Wednesday that charge sheets had also been served on five players, one spectator and seven officials.
The charge sheets are the preliminary to disciplinary hearings, the dates of which have yet to be decided.
Faure said the clubs and individuals faced various charges under the union’s constitution, which amounted to misconduct and bringing the union and the game into disrepute.
The disciplinary panel will be made up of two advocates, one of them a senior counsel, and an attorney.
He said the clubs and individuals, and their legal representatives, had been instructed to appear at the Boland Rugby Stadium in Wellington on Saturday, when the dates of the hearings, and the procedure and time frame, will be decided on.
Two players from the Delicious rugby team of Ceres appeared in the Rawsonville Magistrate’s Court last month on charges of murder following the death of Loots, flyhalf for the Rawsonville team.
Loots was injured in a game-turned-brawl between the two sides on June 23.
Following the incident, Boland commissioned an independent report on the incident by a Cape Town advocate, which was completed last month but has not been made public. — Sapa
