Richard Kingi of the Melbourne Rebels has been issued with an off-field yellow card for a dangerous tackle during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.

The incident occurred in the 37th minute of the match between the Rebels and Cheetahs played in Melbourne yesterday.

The incident was not acted on by the referee for the match and on further review of the match footage, the Citing Commissioner deemed an Off-Field Yellow Card was appropriate.
