Dragons full-back Meyer cited for dangerous tackle
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons full-back Carl Meyer has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle in the narrow Guinness Pro12 loss to Ulster.
The South African came together with Stuart Olding in the 67th minute of the clash in Belfast as the centre attempted to claim a high ball.
Referee Nigel Owens deemed that there was no case to answer after seeing the footage of the incident on the big screen but the independent citing commissioner has called Meyer to a disciplinary hearing this week.
Law 10.4 (g) states that: “A player must not charge or knock down an opponent carrying the ball without trying to grasp that player.”
The Dragons face Connacht at Rodney Parade on Thursday (kick-off 7.30pm).
