Waratah Holloway cops three-week ban for elbow hit

Waratahs lock Jed Holloway has received a three-week ban for elbowing an opponent in the head during his team's loss to the Coastal Sharks last weekend.

Holloway was shown a red card over the incident, which occurred early in the second half when he attacked Thomas du Toit after the South African grabbed his jersey, preventing him chasing a ball.

It proved a turning point in the match, which had been evenly poised at 10-10, with the Sharks going on to win 23-15 and notch their first victory in Sydney since 2000.

A SANZAAR judicial committee hearing handed Holloway a three-week suspension, meaning he will miss matches against Northern Bulls, Golden Lions and Queensland Reds.

In a decision released late Monday, the judiciary said Holloway was facing a six-week ban before his previously clean record, guilty plea and remorse were taken into account.
