Ollie Callan issued a Warning
The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee reviewed the Red Card awarded to Ollie Callan of the Force for contravening Law 9.13: A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously, during a Super Rugby Pacific Match at the Weekend.
Callan has been issued with a Warning for his actions. A Warning may be issued by the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee for foul play incidents that are very close to, but in their opinion do not meet the Red Card threshold.
The incident occurred in the 59th minute of the match between the Force and Reds at AAMI Park in Melbourne on 5 March 2023."Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including from the player and submissions from his legal representative, Michael Tudori, the Foul Play Review Committee found the foul play did not breach the Red Card threshold."
"With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a Warning as it was close to, but did not breach the Red Card threshold. The Foul Play Review Committee deemed that the significant mitigating factors, including the ball carrier's sudden and late change of direction and additional players being involved within the tackle, mitigated the sanction to a Warning."
"The player is therefore free to resume playing.” -

@antipodean A warning is basically an off-field yellow card. After three yellow cards, a player gets an appointment with the judiciary. The same after two yellow cards and one warning, or one yellow and two warnings etc.
@Stargazer i think they could be more clears then and say "....and should have been a yellow card which is why this warning has been issued"

It's the Chiefs' tournament to lose now.

The next on that list should be the Lienert-Brown's. Anton would have played his 100th game if not for the injury (currently on 99 games).

Ioane's aren't far off either

There were two yellow cards in the Force v Moana Pasifika game that were upgraded to a red (Siosifa Amone and Mike McKee, respectively). In both cases, the SANZAAR judiciary didn't agree and issued the players with a warning instead of a suspension because the foul play did not breach the Red Card threshold (they got the warning because it was close).
The same happened last week to Force's Ollie Callan's upgraded card.
So of the four yellow cards that were upgraded to a red card in the first three rounds, three were deemed not to breach the red card threshold (75%). I don't know who the TMO was in both games, but I hope this is not going to be the trend for the rest of the competition

@Tim good return on the highlanders
Still too low
it true injuries on top of generally looking toothless suggest there is little to look forward too

@Stargazer makes sense when you're getting some of the best delivery in the comp from smith and you have someone like TUJ outside you......
what classifies a run? into contact? or even a small run to draw a defender count? i think this is why i like him at 15 more than 10, loves a run so give him a little more space and some broken play
