Queensland Reds forward Angus Scott-Young is facing a lengthy Super Rugby ban after being cited for striking former teammate James Slipper during Sunday’s win over the Brumbies.
Scott-Young entered a ruck and hit Slipper on the back of the head with his right fist in the 29th minute of the 36-14 win at Suncorp Stadium.
SANZAAR’s disciplinary committee has cited the 21-year-old for contravening Law 9.12 which states “a player must not physically abuse anyone”, and Scott-Young will face a judicial panel hearing on Monday afternoon.
