Lomu suspended for Hurricanes' last two matches
April 30, 2000
Wellington Hurricanes All Black winger Jonah Lomu was suspended for two matches by a South Africa New Zealand Australia Rugby (SANZAR) judiciary meeting here Sunday for a dangerous tackle in Saturday's 27-20 Super 12 win over New South Wales. Lomu was sin-binned for the tackle on NSW centre Nathan Grey three minutes into the first half of the Hurricanes-Waratahs game in Sydney. He was then sent off just before half-time for a second yellow card by South African referee Andre Watson for a professional foul. Lomu will miss Hurricanes' last two Super 12 league matches, in South Africa, against the Stormers on May 7 in Cape Town and the Bulls in Pretoria on May 12. Grey needed lengthy treatment before he was able to continue playing in the match. |
