If found guilty of the offence, his disciplinary record will no doubt mean that he'll face a lengthy period out of the game.br /br /Interestingly, Referee Keith Brown - as well as his assistant referees - viewed the clearing out of Duvenage as nothing out of the ordinary, in what was a typically physical South African derby. Botha played on, and as you can see in the clip, attempted a similar clearout at the next ruck.br /br /The citing only came later from SANZAR. Botha has been pulled up under span style="font-style: italic;"law 10.4 (e)/span which refers to dangerous tackling specifically, and includes a line that says span style="font-style: italic;"Playing a player without the ball is dangerous play./spanbr /br /It's a very similar incident to the one we saw between Botha and Adam Jones on the 2009 Lions tour of South Africa. The common perception with that one was that it was a harsh call. The difference here perhaps is that Botha continued on, driving down onto the much smaller Duvenage in a dangerous manner.br /br /Luckily the nuggety scrumhalf wasn't badly injured from it, and continued on to take the Man of the Match award in what was a big win for the Stormers at fort Loftus Versfeld.br /br /span style="font-style: italic;"You can view a few of Botha's other misdemeanours in the related links below this video./spanbr /br /centerobject width="400" height="288"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PJQAdlWekr0?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PJQAdlWekr0?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="288"/embed/object/centerbr /div style="text-align: center;"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;":: Related Posts ::/spanbr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2010/07/bakkies-botha-suspended-for-nine-weeks.html"Bakkies Botha suspended for nine weeks after headbutt on Jimmy Cowan (2010)/abr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2010/05/bakkies-botha-suspended-for-four-weeks.html"Bakkies Botha suspended for four weeks after dangerous clearout on Gio Aplon (2010)/abr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2009/06/bakkiess-botha-suspened-for-two-weeks.html"Bakkies Botha suspended for two weeks after injuring Adam Jones (2009)/abr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2009/05/bakkies-botha-cited-but-cleared-after.html"Bakkies Botha cited but cleared after face slap on Ryan Kankowski (2009)/abr //span/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-6566215676344431112?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divpa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZPmQogis6lC-Yy6201F7CdCQ85A/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZPmQogis6lC-Yy6201F7CdCQ85A/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZPmQogis6lC-Yy6201F7CdCQ85A/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZPmQogis6lC-Yy6201F7CdCQ85A/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=bu398oCe-hQ:xnbNf2MDKKI:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/bu398oCe-hQ" height="1" width="1"/ More...
