Topic: Citings Posted: 13 Nov 2019 at 15:37 |
I think that there is generally a citings topic running through the season, so opening one here.
* Matt Challinor is still out for a citing back in October for law 9.12 - striking with forearm or elbow
* Unsurprisingly, Toby Flood has been cited for law 9.11 reckless or dangerous play - I'm interested in which instance. He'll be going in front of the judicial officer today.

If the match hadn't been on tv perhaps the incidents could have been missed. The leading with the shoulder was right in front of me. There was a huge gasp/shout from the crowd as it was obvious where the contact was. I only saw the neck roll on tv, Flood must have been fully aware of what he was doing. Both actions in my opinion were both reckless and dangerous. In my opinion the t m o was also very much at fault.

I know Nick disagree`s with how the `citing` takes place but my understanding is that there is a citing officer but he is not at the game and as to be notified by the team management .
I found these regulations.........
17.11 Matches where Citing Commissioners are not Appointed
17.11.1 For Matches where, in accordance with Regulation 17.8.3 or 17.8.6, it is
not reasonably practicable for a Citing Commissioner to be appointed, the
following shall apply:
(a) Each team participating in a Match, or any of its authorised officials,
or its Union, may cite:
(i) a Player(s) for an act(s) of alleged Foul Play committed during
that Match provided that such act(s) have not been detected by
the Match Officials;
(ii) a Player for more than one incident of alleged Foul Play in the
same Match; and
(iii) more than one Player in any Match.
(b) Unions and Tournament Organisers shall put in place procedures for
team citing which accord with the following:
(i) citings by teams or their Unions shall be in writing and sent by
an authorised member of the Union or management of the
team to the nominated officer of the Host Union or Tournament
Organiser responsible for the Match in which the incident that is
the subject of the citing complaint occurred.
Last updated 1 January, 2015 244
REGULATION 17
(ii) such citing, to be effective, must be made no later than
48 hours of the conclusion of the Match in which the Foul Play
is alleged to have occurred;
(iii) the responsibility for obtaining information and reportREGULATION 17
(ii) such citing, to be effective, must be made no later than
48 hours of the conclusion of the Match in which the Foul Play
is alleged to have occurred;
(iii) the responsibility for obtaining information and reports in
relation to the citing shall rest with the Union or team
management making the citing complaint. The Union or team
management shall liaise with the Host Union or Tournament
Organiser (or its/their nominated officer) to ensure that relevant
information and reports are circulated to the appropriate parties
in advance of the hearing;
(iv) the independent disciplinary body of the Union or Tournament
Organiser having jurisdiction over the Match, shall consider the
citing complaint and any other evidence it deems appropriate
including via televisual means, oral (witness), film or
photographic evidence. The Player cited shall have the right to
be heard, to be represented and to produce evidence; and
(v) at any hearing of a citing complaint a representative of the
citing team or Union must be in attendance, failing which the
citing complaint will be dismissed. If an act of Foul Play is found
to have been committed the disciplinary body of the Union or
Tournament Organiser having jurisdiction over the Match shall
take the appropriate action and shall apply the World Rugby’s
Sanctions for Foul Play set out in Appendix 1, by following the
core sanctioning principles set out in Regulation 17.19.
17.11.2 Players who are the subject of a citing by Unions shall not be provisionally
suspended pending the hearing of the case.

You are quoting the section of the 2015 update, for matches at tiers where there is no citing commissionaire.
Please have a look at the 2019-20 appendix 4 to regulation 19, which is the current regulation.
On the very first page is states the following...
"The procedures set out below apply only to Clubs in the Premiership and Championship and
Women’s Premier 15s (1st XV) – where an RFU Citing Commissioner is appointed.
1. The RFU Head of Discipline shall ensure that match footage is made available to the
Citing Commissioner.
2. A Club participating in a match may refer any incidents in the match to the Citing
Commissioner that they want him/her to consider, within the timescales set out
below:
Premiership: 4 hours of conclusion of the match
Championship and
Women’s Premier 15s (1st XV): 8 hours of conclusion of the match
3. A Citing Commissioner alone shall have the power and responsibility to cite a Player
whom the independent video and/or other evidence shows to have committed an act
of Foul Play whether or not it has been detected by the Match Officials. Such citing, to
be effective, must be made in writing to be received by the RFU Head of Discipline
from the nominated Citing Commissioner within the timescales set out below: "
Point 3 is key.
There is a lot more - it goes down to point 11, before starting on level 3 and below. Nowhere in points 1-11, which cover tiers 1 & 2, and womens' premiership rugby do clubs cite players.

That's not very readable 'legislation' - not that I'm blaming you No7. Not sure the detail is critically important, the gist is that a citing commissioner is appointed to each GKIPAC game and reviews it to see if there are any disciplinary concerns, charging players where an offence is deemed sufficiently serious. Clubs are entitled to draw the attention of the CC to particular incidents... that's about the long & short of it I think.

we're getting into semantics here about what is meant by the word 'cite'. In the strict sense, only the citing commissioner may cite a player. In the looser sense, clubs may draw the CC's attention to particular incidents - some people might refer to this drawing of attention as 'citing'. Strictly it isn't, but it has a very similar effect...

Disregarding the semantics the procedure is often instigated by the club .

Sorry, I haven't got time to go through the RFU links, but what about the officials? There may be an incident that they did not see fully (partially obscured/long way away etc.), if they review back are they able to refer to the CC if they think that they missed the said incident?

Brizzer, as far as I can see there is no regulation to cover this, but of course a citing commissioner can cite without referral from a team. I’m sure if the referee said “I may have missed something at about the hour” the CC would take a careful look at around then, and if appropriate would cite.

Well, I’ve no plans to explain further, and Toby Flood’s ban is just for Sunday. Based on that, his ban, although very short may last longer.
