Hamilton – Springbok centre Jaque Fourie has been suspended for four weeks for a dangerous tackle during the All Blacks v South Africa Test at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton, yesterday.
Fourie, represented by Aaron Lloyd, appeared before SANZAR Judicial Officer Paul Tully at a hearing held in Hamilton on Sunday after being cited by Citing Commissioner Scott Nowland for a dangerous tackle in breach of law 10.4 (i), on All Blacks player Ma’a Nonu in the 70th minute of the match.
In his defence, Fourie submitted that the lifting tackle was not intentional, but reckless, and was at the lower end of the sanction scale.
After viewing video evidence and hearing submissions, Mr Tully found that there was a reckless lifting tackle which was clearly dangerous and placed the player in a vulnerable position when he landed on his neck and shoulder.
Fourie has been suspended for four weeks up to, and including, 19 October 2009. The player indicated that for recovery reasons, he has no intention of playing on the weekend of the 19-20 September, and therefore the suspension commences from the weekend of 26-27 September 2009.

It is still not clear where Jaque Fourie will play his local rugby when he returns. The Lions feel their contract with him is rock solid while WP wants to expose any loopholes. There is also a French club claiming Fourie signed up to join them. However, Fourie made it clear that he wants to play his rugby in the Cape. The suspension means that Jaque Fourie will not take part in the Curry Cup campaign of either of the local teams unless they reach the final. And even then, it might be risk as he wasn’t involved for the 14 rounds before the final.
belaglik jan fourie is net nog n teiken
What?
@Loosehead – Ja dis seker ma kiwi suur druiwe .ma dit maak nie saak nie bok is steeds champs
Just watched it on youtube. Ok so a penalty, but 4 weeks? FFS that is pathetic.
Funny how there was no citing for Reid’s savage shoulder charge on Habana, ok we got a penalty, but is was far worse than Fourie’s tackle.
@Loosehead – Man as reid n saffa was was hy gegeel en geskors nee wat ons word ma genail en geen mens kan anders se nie
Maar dis net omdat ons slapgat administrateurs dit toelaat….
Se eenvoudig ons aanvaar dit nie en hy kan weer volgende week speel?
Wat kan hulle doen?
n WB sonder die bokke?
Incredible. Note to self find out bout toytoying lessons and how to rent a crowd.
Mossie was hard done by..and what about the shoulder charge on Habana??
Another thing I find strange:
“The player indicated that for recovery reasons, he has no intention of playing on the weekend of the 19-20 September, and therefore the suspension commences from the weekend of 26-27 September 2009.”
Why say that? Why not just take the banning and be available one week earlier? Now he gets an extra week. I dont understand.
@Supa Die Bloubul – cause he has issues with playing for the lions cause of the contract dispute. Its going to come back and bite him in the arse.
@K9-MonsterLeeu –
So he would rather not play rugby, than play for the Lions? They should stop paying him. Wonder if he will appeal?
Does anyone know wether Frans Steyn and JDV will play CC? Or are they off to Europe next week already?
@Supa Die Bloubul – soos ek verstaan gaan hulle reguit europa toe
@smallies72 –
Dankie
@K9-MonsterLeeu –
as hulle hom wel behou moet hulle hom bench tot die splinters in sy gat begin sweer.
@trupisero –
Hy sal nie omgee nie, hy wil dan juis nie daar speel nie.
@Supa Die Bloubul –
Maar hy wil speel, laat hom maar met homself speel.
Watch – hy gaan dieselfde as Bakkies oorkom, maar ongelukkig speel hy in `n span wat nie vir enige bekers gaan kompeteer nie.
ek gaan smokes koop–dink nie Mr.Delivery gaan net siggies kom aflaai nie.
@trupisero – Ja hulle moet hom nie eers kies nie…….al kan hy speel. Hulle het na hom gekyk deur sy slegte tye……
@trupisero –
Ja, Bakkies het darem nog goeie rugby gespeel. Hopelik het JAque Fourie ook daai gesindheid om nogsteeds alles te gee.
wat is die groot probleem die selfde het destyds met aj venter gebeur,die feit is dat j.f.net so baie loyalityd vir die lions gehad het.as julle kan onthou is rassie al van sy cheetah dae agter jf aan toe het jf hom afgeskiet.die leeus is in elk geval die laaste mense wat kan praat in 1997 het hulle feitlik die hele cheetah span gekoop om die cc mee te wen.
so al wat gebeur is dat die selfde nou met hulle gebeur.
die verskil is net dat die cheetahs ‘n steady stroom jong talent het en die leeus nie
@smallies72 –
DieLeeus se juniors het baie agteruit gegaan. Hopelik kan Kevin alles regruk. Ek onthou toe ek op RAU was so 5, 6 jaar terug het die Leeus en Bulle mekaar elke jaar in die 0/21 finaal gespeel. Nou le die Leeus 5de by die 0/19’s en vyfde by die 0/21’s. Monnas is daar en die juniors behoort beter te doen. Dalk het dit iets te doen met RAU (nou UJ) wat ook agteruit gaan. In ons koshuis saam my was daar seker 15 ouens, meestal Monnas en HTS vereeniging, wat Leeus juniors gespeel het en later op provinsiale vlak. Nou is daar heelwat minder in die koshuis. Minder ouens wil nou RAU koshuise toe gaan klink dit my.
@Supa Die Bloubul – selfde in bloem die lyn tussen grey ,die shimlas en cheetahs bestaan nie meer regtig nie.die enigste varsity waar dinge nog goed gaan is by die puk en mens kan dit aan hulle rugby sien.ek dink dat dit is waar al die leeus se youmgsters op eindig
Hands up who has a Tri-Nations Hangover?
Even a little one counts!!! 8)
@carol – does a cheetah babbelas count?
@smallies72 – I think on this occasion it does!! 🙂
I don’t have one, good job as I have to do something noisy now!!
See you.
Wat gaan aan dat hier niks aangaan nie
