Du Preez was cited for lifting a player in a tackle and dropping him the ground, which was in breach of Law 10.4 (j), while Samuels was cited for striking a player with his arm and shoulder on the ground without the ball, which contravened Law 10.4 (a).
Du Preez’s hearing will now take place in Cape Town on Wednesday (having initially been scheduled for Tuesday), with Advocate Donny Jacobs serving as the judicial officer, while Samuels’s hearing will take place in Pretoria on Tuesday at 15h30.
Meanwhile, Vodacom Blue Bulls flank Deon Stegmann and hooker Bongi Mbonambi will also face SARU disciplinary hearings on Tuesday after being cited following the team’s Absa Currie Cup Premier Division clash against the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth on Friday.
Stegmann received a red card for striking a player with his elbow at a ruck in the 69th minute, which was in breach of Law 10.4 (a), while Mbonambi received a yellow card in the 12th minute for charging into a ruck dangerously, which contravened Law 10.4 (h).
The players will appear at a SARU disciplinary hearing in Pretoria on Tuesday at 16h00. Advocate Tokkie van Zyl has been appointed the judicial officer.
