Stegmann suspended for a week
Vodacom Blue Bulls flank Deon Stegmann was suspended for one week on Wednesday for striking a player with his elbow in their Absa Currie Cup Premier Division clash against the EP Kings last Friday.
His Vodacom Blue Bulls counterpart, hooker Bongi Mbonambi, meanwhile, was cleared of further sanction after receiving a yellow card in the match for charging into a ruck without using his arms.
Stegmann and Mbonambi both appeared before a SARU judicial committee in Pretoria on Tuesday after being sent to the sin-bin in their clash in Port Elizabeth.
Stegmann received a red card in the 69th minute of the match for contravening Law 10.4 (a), which states that a player must not strike an opponent with the fist or arm, including the elbow, shoulder, head or knee. The judicial officer Advocate Tokkie van Zyl on Tuesday night reserved his judgement on the incident but announced on Wednesday that Stegmann was suspended for a week.
Van Zyl also ruled that the yellow card Xerox Golden Lions Under-21 lock Ramone Samuels received for contravening Law 10.4(a) in their clash against DHL Western Province last Saturday was a sufficient sanction.
DHL Western Province Under-21 flyhalf Robert du Preez will appear at a SARU disciplinary hearing in Cape Town on Wednesday after being for cited for lifting a player in a tackle and dropping him to the ground in the match at Ellis Park, which was in breach of Law 10.4 (j).

Ek dink Wiaan gaan speel in Steggies se plek!
Ons gaan nie gou van Ross ontslae wees nie....

Die suspension tell van wanneer die wedstryd plaas gevind het.
kyk, ek verstaan steeds iets nie - op die website cover is , van alle spelers, Ross. dan verskyn so 'n artikel - heel uit lyn met die aard van Sport24 artikels - en van alle spelers, oor Ross. betaal hy 'n PR maatskappy om sy beeld te poets of wat is die BBM se agenda?
Daar is 43 comments onder die artikel en nie 1 positief.
En ja elke keer as mens hierdie website oopmaak is dit sy foto.
Ek weet nie of BBRU , Ross of Ruggabugger vir die artikel betaal nie.
Ross verwys na die agterspelers wat nou so lekker speel. Wat speel hulle? Hulle kry nooit n bal as hy die damn ding in sy hande het nie. Hulle clean omtrent elke losskrum want hy staan in die agterlyn. Hulle moet hulle siele uit tackle want hy tackle nie. Wat vra ek met trane in my oe is lekker vir hulle.
Die mense gaan van hulle koppe af gaan as jy reg is en sy "skorsing vir n week - dus van Vrydag tot Vrydag is en hy Saterdag teen die Sharks kan speel!.
Dan sal President Ross nie Kaptein wees nie.
Jammer dat Wiaan dan nie gaan speel nie!
Ja nee kyk hierso. Ross is net so lucky. Die mees gevreesde 8steman nog in Bloubulland.
