Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend had felt the incident was worth reviewing.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Paris SPRINGBOKS CENTRE JESSE Kriel won’t be cited for a possible high tackle early in his side’s Pool B win over Scotland in Marseille last night.
There had been some speculation that Kriel could be cited for his tackle, but that won’t be the case.It’s understood that Whitehouse did examine the incident during the game but didn’t find clear and obvious head contact. And with the official 24-hour citing window close to being over, it appears that the citing commissioner hasn’t seen clear and obvious head contact either.“We are really comfortable. There hasn’t been a citing, I’m pretty sure there won’t be a citing,” said Erasmus.
“I think Finn Russell’s call [when he was penalised for a no-arms challenge on Kurt-Lee Arendse] was much closer. Unfortunately, he got injured then, I think that deflected a little bit from the action that he did, but we were happy with the decision that was made.
