Jean Deysel has been found guilty of foul play in the game against the Waratahs on Saturday and has been suspended for two weeks.
Deysel was cited for a dangerous tackle on Waratahs centre Tom Carter, for which he received a yellow card. It was ruled that Deysel was in contravention of the law for dangerously tackling an opponent without the ball.
The offence is seen as a lower end offence and Deysel has received the minimum sanction of two weeks.

Back for the bulls … Nice 😉
We can’t complain about that…..it was less than I thought after the Rhodes sentence.
no complaints and i think its fair
again i feel rhodes 6 match ban is a disgrace
Great news. Now what bewilders me is they say he was cited for the dangerous tackle. What about the head lock?
@sharks_lover (Comment 3) : Why is it a disgrace? I would have given him a 10 week ban.
@sharks_lover (Comment 3) :
Did you think he should have got a life ban 😆
@sharks_lover (Comment 3) :
Why? I think Rhodes was lucky to only get 6 weeks. That move could have killed the oke.
again the kiwi’s do a saffa player in and go way over board with their sentence
@sharks_lover (Comment 8) : 😯
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 6) : @Pokkel (Comment 7) : lol no diffs between what deysel did and rhodes did
@sharks_lover (Comment 8) : Did you see the Rhodes incident???
@sharks_lover (Comment 10) : Big difference. No wait, huge difference.
@sharks_lover (Comment 10) :
What Rhodes did could have really hurt the player. Not only the headlock but also the way in which he twisted the player..
@sharks_lover (Comment 10) : Come on SL……did you see the Rhodes incident? Rhodes tried to paralyze his man…..Deysel just tried to choke him. Choking takes a lot longer than snapping your neck off. 🙄
@Ben (Comment 12) : Yeah, difference is Deysel is a shark, your team, Rhodes is from a team that is not your team, so obviously you see it (Deysel’s indiscretion) as a lesser evil.
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 13) : @Pokkel (Comment 14) : If Siale Piutau didn’t think quickly and turn his body with his head, Rhodes would have snapped his neck clean off. That’s how serious a offence it was imo.
@Greg (Comment 15) : Okay cool and you don’t?
@Greg (Comment 15) :
No dude..
There is a big difference..
@Greg (Comment 15) : I’m not a coward if one of my Team’s players were in the wrong I’d say it.
@Ben (Comment 17) :
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 18) :
I am not condoning Rhodes, but was it three times as bad as what Deysel did? Not sure about that. Is this the longest ban so far this season? I think so. Is it the worst offence?
Well I`ll admit I`m surprised.
Expected the worst to be honest.
Hey; I told you guys that we mustn’t fear… He will back back for the Bulls and for the playoffs. He will be supercharged and up for The Bulls game, he has found some confidence and will be itching to avenge the loss at KP…
@Original Pierre (Comment 21) : Me too, maybe not the worst, but a little more than two weeks, given Rhodes’ six.
@Greg (Comment 20) : have to agree with you
i think his sentence was very harsh
@Greg (Comment 15) : duh! That’s the best thing about parochialism 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 25) : 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 25) :
@Greg (Comment 20) : 5 times as bad as what Deysel did. Considering he could easily have broken his neck.
@Ben (Comment 28) : when running at speed and both players big like in the case of kanko and SBW , is it not true a shoulder charge into the face of a player could also be dabgerous and also mame a person??
Hey does anyone know why they don’t impose fines as punishment?
It works in cricket!
@sharks_lover (Comment 29) : It could but very unlikely. The chance of it happening in the case of what Rhodes did are much better. Looks like he actually tried to break the guys neck on purpose. Maybe you should watch the incident again???
@byron (Comment 30) : No idea, I think its a great idea though.
Rob / Admin
Why does google chrome tell me that this sites security is not to be trusted or something along those lines.
Have you guys been overdoing it on the criticism or what?
@Ben (Comment 28) : I think you’ll find it was only 3 times as bad 🙂
@Salmonoid (Comment 33) : I got the same thing 🙄
@Salmonoid (Comment 33) : for some reason, you’re trying to get to the site using https rather than http….
Can you track down the link that’s sending you there?
I didnt see the incident but can hardly go along with that Rhodes tried to break the guys neck as so many are saying. If it was that obvious to viewers and that was his intention then I have no doubt that he would have had a life ban and be up on attempted murder charges.
I got that warning on my pc too, but not my laptop.
Reboot.
@robdylan (Comment 36) : It was this link about Deysel.
@robdylan (Comment 36) :
It seems to be sorted now.
@robdylan (Comment 34) : That’s why I said I’d have given Rhodes a 10 week suspension.
@robdylan (Comment 36) : I clicked on sharks lovers name in the recent comments section on the right hand collumn. Its not doing it now. At the time I was in the Williams fights….article.
@Salmonoid (Comment 37) :
Look I’m pretty sure he didn’t try and kill the oke but it looked very bad.
Here is the link to the clip.

@robdylan (Comment 36) :
I also got that on my other laptop yesterday..
Just refresh the page or post a comment and then it goes away..
we had a glitch where for some reason the “recent comments” section was coming up with https links… I fixed that, so I guess there might still be some cached version out there.
Just refresh the page and you should be fine.
@robdylan (Comment 45) :
Thanx IT Boss-man..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 46) : I’m screwed if I know what happened though… 🙂
@Pokkel (Comment 43) :
Just checked out the clip, guess who was viewer 19000.
It does look very heavy. Similar to the only “sport” broadcast that etv can afford to show.
@Salmonoid (Comment 48) :
I actually cringed when I watched that the first time.
@Salmonoid (Comment 48) : @Pokkel (Comment 49) : I remember so well, I was watching the game and when it happend I shook my head and said “dit was F%¥€up!”
@Pokkel (Comment 43) : thanks pokkel, gee that was bad, agree with Ben, he got off very light!
Look, Rhodes screwed up, and Deysel was very luck. I don’t think that one can assume Rhodes wanted to kill the guy – he also has a good record.
In my opinion, as much as I love Deysel, he was lucky to get such a small ban.
