Saracens back row Schalk Burger has been cited for dangerous play at a ruck during Saturday's Champions Cup victory over Northampton.
Burger is alleged to have dangerously entered a ruck, making contact with flanker David Ribbans, in the 48th minute of the 62-14 triumph at Allianz Park.
The hearing was supposed to have been held last night but not seen any reports??

Doubt it- I find citing officers to be a bit Wimpy with these things...

am I right in thinking there are ‘five guys’ on the panel ?
They seem to enjoy handing out big bans these days. They hand them out with relish
God it took me a while to ketchup with these responses
Not much in it for me, I think the citing officer is being a bit patty

He's the ex Scottish captain - Big Mac. And he's cheesed off!

Where was this reported? Who was the schalk burger sauce?

Dunno. Has he got a chip on his shoulder? Either way we should know by Fryday...
Hopefully they lettuce hearing be made public by then
In all seriousness I saw it at the time and thought Davey Ribbans did very well not to react properly. Not as blindingly obvious as Kieran Brookes a while back but just as dangerous IMHO.
You will be lucky to see a game when this sort of challenge does not happen and inevitably will not be subject to sanction by the referee. Good teams play on the margins and get away with it all the time. Poor sides are more blatent and get pinged....move on.
1 week.. does that mean it should have been a red card? could have made all the difference*
I thought it was going to be super sized.
