Disciplinary
Here you will find listed all of the judgments from Major League Rugby disciplinary hearings.
MLR utilizes the expedited disciplinary procedures as provided in World Rugby Regulation section 17.25 for all on field disciplinary matters. For All Off-Field Disciplinary Matters MLR utilizes the MLR Rulebook and World Rugby Regulation 18.
Each of the foul play offenses in World Rugby Law 9 has specific entry points indicated which is set out in a table format. This is known as the Sanction Table (World Rugby Regulation 17, Appendix 1) and MLR is required by World Rugby to adopt this table in full.
The Sanction Table can be viewed on the World Rugby website by clicking here Sanction Table. Each offence under Law 9 has a low end, mid-range and top end entry point.
The Foul Play Review Officer or Judicial Officer reaches an entry point based on the assessment of seriousness of an incident; guided by an assessment of the factors noted in World Rugby Regulation 17.18 and a mixture of their own rugby experience and knowledge of other cases. All cases are judged independently upon their own facts.
