LUKE WATSON DISCIPLINARY PROCESS

Following discussions with Judge Lex Mpati, the chairman of the National Judicial Committee of the South African Rugby Union, a designated official has been appointed to investigate statements alleged to have been made by Springbok and Western Province looseforward Luke Watson.

Durban attorney Dekker Govender has been tasked with investigating the allegations and weighing the evidence to determine if they merit a breach of the South African Rugby Union code of conduct.

If a breach is identified the player will face a disciplinary hearing.
