Bulls and Springbok lock Bakkies Botha will appear before a SANZAR judiciary after being charged with a dangerous tackle on the Stormers halfback during their Super Rugby match at the weekend.

Botha appeared to place an arm around the neck of the player.

The giant lock Botha is never far from trouble, last year he was suspended for nine weeks for head butting All Blacks halfback Jimmy Cowan in a Tri Nations Test match.

In their Super 15 matches this week, the Bulls play the Lions at 3.05am this Sunday.

Meanwhile, at 8.40pm this Friday, the Melbourne Rebels host the Hurricanes.
