Having watched the video I think it is reckless at worst. You could make an argument for or against a yellow. Not worth a citing though.

There will be no further action taken again Du Preez, as the citing commissioner determined that a yellow card was suitable punishment.

Excellent!

Sensible decision. Reckless seems fair enough.

Stupid citing. There were other instances in that game not dealt with by the officials at the time which were more worthy of being cited.
