Benjamin escapes punishment

According to the SARU Regulations, a player must appear before a judicial hearing after receiving two yellow cards in one match or three overall in a competition.

Benjamin was shown two yellow cards in their match against the Pumas in Nelspruit in Round Nine of the Currie Cup – one for a dangerous tackle and another for a team offence, resulting in a red card.

He also received a yellow card against Western Province earlier in the competition, to take his total tally to three in the competition.

His hearing was held late via teleconference before Duty Judicial Officer advocate Rob Stelzner, who decided not to impose any further sanction on the player.

Benjamin is therefore available for selection for the Cheetahs' home fixture against the Cell C Sharks in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
