Taniela Tupou cited for potential foul play against Brumbies

Wallabies prop Taniela Tupou has been cited for alleged dangerous play in the Queensland Reds’ Super Rugby Pacific loss to the Brumbies on Friday night.

Commentators felt Tupou effected a perfect clean-out at a ruck but SANZAR’s citing commissioner deemed the incident had met the red card threshold for foul play.

Tupou’s case will be heard via video conference by the foul play review committee on Monday night.

He is facing a one-match suspension if found guilty and could miss Saturday night’s clash with the NSW Waratahs in Brisbane.
