In what has become a widely debated incident since the latest round of the URC, many South African fans have been waiting to see if Ospreys winger Luke Morgan would face a disciplinary hearing after he belatedly dived on Sharks and Springbok star Ethan Hooker in the act of scoring a try.
This action saw Hooker dislocate his shoulder, and the talented Springbok is now set to be sidelined for between three to four months.
It has understandably led to many questions about how often these sorts of incidents occur when last-ditch defenders dangerously land on opponents who can be in especially vulnerable positions as they’re diving over the tryline.
After the game, Sharks coach JP Pietersen emphatically stated that “the rules say you are not supposed to dive on a player and rules are there to protect players and sadly that did not happen”, while the Durban-based team’s management asked the URC commissioner to investigate.
URC pass down verdict
In the latest news on this matter, a source at the URC told Independent Media that the incident had been reviewed and the citing officer “found that it did not meet the red (or yellow) card threshold”.
“There has been a lot of public discourse about the fixture, and while we certainly understand there are heightened opinions in these circumstances, we must respect the processes that are in place,” the URC sourced added.
Springbok utility back likely to miss the start of the Test season
Particularly on social media, numerous South African rugby fans have shared their outrage about the manner in which this injury was caused, and Morgan himself responded to some of the accusations.
On user commented on his Instagram, stating: “You should be banned for as long as Ethan Hooker is out. Scumbag.”
To which Morgan responded: “And you should go bore someone else with a silly little comment like that.”
Another social media user also commented: “Falling on a player after he was clearly going to score is pure filth. Intended to hurt and succeed. Congrats.”
Morgan then replied with a subsequently deleted post, stating: “He clearly hasn’t scored until the ball is grounded, there for [therefore] because the ball wasn’t grounded means the ball is still in play and I am fully legal to make that tackle so you might want to think again about that one.”
