New Argentinian Super Rugby franchise the Jaguares became the first expansion team in the competition's history to win their opening game.

SANZAAR Duty Judicial Officer Nigel Hampton assessed the case.

He said: "I did not consider there to be any aggravating factors to take into account. I did take the player admitting guilt for the offence into account as a mitigating factor. This entitles the player up to a 50 per cent reduction in sanction which I applied. This results in a one week suspension being imposed on the player."
