WAIKATO PROP BEN Tameifuna has been cited for pushing referee Glen Jackson during his side’s ITM Cup clash with North Harbour last weekend.
Tameifuna, who plays Super Rugby for the Chiefs, shoved former Saracens out-half Jackson to the turf as North Harbour hammered at Waikato’s tryline in the 72nd minute of the fixture.
The 134kg prop was sin binned moments later, although Jackson indicated that Tameifuna’s yellow card was for “playing the ball on the ground” at the ruck proceeding the 23-year-old’s push.
