Waratahs Suspend Miles Amatosero for Four Games After Training-Ground Altercation

The lock can halve the sanction by completing mandated counselling and education.

Overview

  • Rugby Australia and the NSW Waratahs confirmed a four-game ban for Amatosero following a formal review of the incident.
  • The suspension carries an option to reduce to two matches upon successful completion of counselling and education programs.
  • He will miss the Waratahs’ preseason trials against the Reds and Brumbies, with round-one availability contingent on any reduction.
  • Code Sports released footage of the clash that is circulating online, with reports noting multiple players were involved and two separate flare-ups occurred.
  • The Sydney Morning Herald reported Angus Scott-Young suffered a fractured eye socket, and The Age detailed a backlash from his father, ex-Wallaby Sam Scott-Young, who challenged Amatosero to a fight and used a term widely viewed as a racial slur.
