DARRAGH MURRAY, the Connacht second row, has been cited for a tackle he made during his side’s Challenge Cup quarter-final loss to Benetton on Sunday.
The EPCR has received a complaint, with Murray alleged to have tackled Benetton wing Ignacio Mendy in a dangerous manner. The incident happened in the fifth minute of the game.
The complaint was made by the match citing commissioner, John Byett. It relates to ‘Law 9.13’ which states that “a player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously”.
The law carries the following sanction entry points – low end: two weeks; mid-range: six weeks; top end: 10 to 52 weeks.

The case will be heard by an independent judicial officer, Gareth Graham, “as soon as practicable”.
I like GAA too! If only I cold find a way to wriggle out of my PAYE obligations, I could then throw out a bit of the cash I’d save to my pet sport and everyone would say I’m a great fella.
@Hibernicus: There’s always one who has nothing good to say.
@Richard Ford: You misunderstood, I am inspired & keen to emulate the great man!
@Hibernicus: the man owns and runs a Swiss based company where he is clearly doing pretty well. This is also where he pays tax. I appreciate that might be a difficult concept to wrap your head around when you’ve likely spent your life in the one village.
@Hibernicus: . Well then please do your very best to do so. All donations gratefully accepted Hibernicus.
@Hibernicus: typical
@Paul Odeier: succinct!
@Hibernicus:you come across as a great fella.revenue are crying out for great fellas
As I said to Shane below, we are a tax haven. Tax avoidance is the way of the world. We gratefully accept multiple billions from corporations who base their headquarters here to avoid tax. We can’t have it both ways. People be careful not to fall off their high horses.
Fantastic balanced journalism from the headline down, exactly why I decided to pay for a subscription.
I look forward to the day when I can stop paying tax like all the smart people and donate an iPad to the club raffle for a gushing write-up in the local paper.
@Shane Griffin: When are you expecting to become one of the smart people?
@Shane Griffin: how do you feel about the fact that Ireland is a tax haven? Do you think we should send back the multiple billions we receive from tax dodging corporations every year???
