Highlights take time, whereas this is just a quick, easy clip to get up before hitting the sack.br /br /Tuitupou was yellow carded for the tackle he made on scrumhalf Hodgson, who looked worse for wear after taking the hit, but later continued on. The Munster center was cited earlier today, accused of making a dangerous tackle by Welsh citing commissioner Ray Wilton.br /br /Law 10.4(j) states that ‘Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving a player into the ground’ is dangerous, and that’s what he was pinged for. In other words, a spear, or tip tackle.br /br /If found guilty a low end sanction will find him sitting on the sidelines for three weeks, mid range is six weeks, and maximum is 52 weeks. In this case, if found guilty, it shouldn’t be more than three weeks.br /br /In other citing news, Cardiff Blues flanker Martyn Williams has been cited after he allegedly dropped a knee into Edinburgh’s Chris Paterson’s face. Scarlets lock Jonny Fa'amatuainu is also in trouble after he too made a dangerous tackle on the weekend.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZpH0B6_FdAE?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZpH0B6_FdAE?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span01:47/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-6721509244245610584?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=GGWyW17ONvE:Xg2ky829yvM:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/GGWyW17ONvE" height="1" width="1"/ More...
