  • Taumalolo cited for dangerous tackle

Chiefs prop Sona Taumalolo has escaped punishment for his dangerous tackle against Super 14 rugby rivals the Reds.

Taumalolo was on Monday found guilty of making a dangerous tackle on Quade Cooper during his team's 18-23 loss to the Reds in Hamilton last Friday.

However, no censure was imposed by Sanzar judicial officer Peter Hobbs after a hearing in Wellington.

Hobbs decided that while Taumalolo's tackle breached the laws of the game, his overall culpability did not warrant any further penalty, a Sanzar statement said.
