Ralepelle found not guilty
04 March 2013

Vodacom Bulls hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle was found not guilty by a SANZAR judiciary on Monday after he was cited for allegedly contravening Law 10.4 (h) and 10. 4 (k). The citing followed an alleged incident in the 11th minute of the Vodacom Super Rugby match between the Bulls and Force played at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

The citing officer deemed the incident, which was not picked up by the match officials, as meeting the red card threshold for foul play.

Judicial Officer Jannie Lubbe found Ralepelle not guilty after consulting with ex-professional player Shaun Payne, who acts in an advisory role in terms of Sanzar rules.

Ralepelle is free to play in the remainder of the competition. He was represented by legal representative Gerrie Swart at the full hearing that took place at Montecasino, Fourways.

Law 10. 4(h)

A player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made without use of the arms, or without grasping a player.

Law 10.4 (k) Players must not charge into a ruck or maul without binding onto a player in the ruck or maul.

As dit Bakkies was wat sonder arms getackle het soos daai speler van die Force vir Flip getackle het, was hy ook ge-cite.

Dubbel standaarde.....

Môre mede Bloubul Ondersteuners, jip, dis 'n hartseer oggend om te moet lees in nuusblaaie dat ons spelers weereens in Pienk gaan speel. Hier is die berig vir die wat belangstel. Verder lyk dit ook vir my dat die aap uit die mou gelaat is wie ons wedstryd die naweek blaas. Ek hoor graag van julle. Lekker dag.

Pretoria - With so much pink abounding on the rugby fields, it wasn’t surprising that it would clash at some stage or other.

According to the supersport.com website, this will happen this week when the Bulls fly in to Auckland to face off with the Blues in their Super Rugby game on Sunday. Kick-off is at 05:05 SA time.

But the clash won’t be with the opposing team, even though both have blue kits, but rather with the referee.

New Zealand referees this year have worn pink as their outfits thanks to a new sponsor and with the Bulls again deciding to don their pink “away” kit during this year’s tournament, there was a distinct possibility the 16th man would literally become the 16th man in pink.

But with SANZAR alerted to the clash, referees boss Lyndon Bray confirmed that the referee would change his kit to a white shirt and black shorts for the clash.

“The referee would have to change in such an instance,” Bray said.

The move did catch SANZAR by surprise, with officials needing to find out if there was indeed “an alternative kit” for the referee.

The referee in question, Garratt Williamson, will have the whistle - in white - this weekend.

Gaan wragtig nou ook die Blues ondersteun, genoeg van die PIENK gehad om my 'n leeftyd the hou.
Gee ok sommer my seisoenkaartjies weg as dit so aanhou.
Nee, sies man, elke ordentlike BUL ondersteuner het mos nou al hulle misnoë daarmee te kenne gegee.
Word wakker, anders gaan getroue ondersteuners teen julle begin draai............

Ag nee magtig man. Ek het so gehoop ons het die laaste van daardie poefter-pienk truie gesien. Geen self respekterende man sal uit vrye wil pienk dra tensy hy skewe neiging het nie. Waarvoor moet ons spelers so verneder word?

Ek is bly Chilly is onskuldig! Wat van die nr 5 wat vir Flip sonder arms geskouer het???????????????
Ek lees op DSTV se Supersport Zone dat Basson 10 dae gaan uit wees agv 'n skouer besering. Dis snaaks dat hy van die veld af gehelp moes word met wat eintlik 'n enkelbesering is.

Ek sien Freek Burger was die "Citing Officer". Sy jare lange (oor dekades) vete met die Bulle, raak darem nou rerig afgesaag!

Justice Chilli!

As dit so is, is dit regtig baie jammer.

Regtig gehoop die pienk dinge is nou verby en dat die unie en borge sou leer uit laasjaar. VERAL dat ons hierdie jaar 75 jaar fees sou vier in BLOU.

Dink net hoe mooi sou ‘n wegtrui gelyk het wat ‘n kombinasie is van die ou NTVL ligblou trui en die huidige Bulls donker blou trui ?

Wie is die unie se advertensie konsultante, Nataniel en Pieter Dirk Eish ?

Wie gaan ons volgende pienk bul lied skryf, Elton John ?

Hoekom kon die bestuur nie net so bietjie ruggraat getoon het en net vir hierdie jaar ten minste nee sê vir Puma se pienk agenda nie ?

Ek is nou so kwaad, ek koop sommer ‘n pienk bulle trui ! hehe

BB23, kan jy asseblief net amptelik bevestig dat ons span weer verneder gaan word deur met 'n pienk trui te speel in wegwedstryde, soos Supersport berig het ?

Dankie
Ben
