The Bulls are in danger of losing captain Victor Matfield to suspension after he was cited for two incidents of foul play during his side's 50-32 win over the Brumbies in Pretoria on Saturday.
The talismanic Springbok was cited for allegedly striking Brumbies flanker Rocky Elsom "around the head area" in the 16th minute of the match, and for "charging into a ruck without binding onto another player".
The 32-year-old lock will appear before a SANZAR judiciary hearing on Monday at 12:00 (10:00 GMT) at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria.
The Bulls play against the Waratahs in Pretoria on Saturday and then have a bye before their game against the Highlanders in Pretoria on March 13

I suspect this is not good news for my Fantasy Team![]()

I just figured out why Victor was such a bargain!
I haven't watched this game yet, but was it worse than anything else we've seen so far this year. Charging into the ruck to clean out has been part and parcel of the season until now!
And Mortlock is the king of head high tackles

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

I'm glad he was cleared, because although I haven't watched the match yet, it sounds like every forward in the comp would be cited if he was rubbed out!

I can't believe he got off that striking charge... He wasn't clearing out the man, the tackle was over and the Ref Lawerence had blow the whistle... What a joke.. Wem have a Yarpie Ref, assitant refs, the TMO and the Judicial Officer Jannie Lubbe...
Talk about a system which is out of balance... Typical Saffers the laws only apply to others...
Didn't look like much to me!
Just happy to be here
