Nabuli will appear before Sanzaar’s foul play review committee, after getting three yellow cards through the Super Rugby season.

Nabuli, whose tally of eight tries is the most by any player In an Australian team this season, was sin-binned on Friday for a 66th minute high tackle on Western Force five-eight Peter Grant .

Reds’ coach Nick Stiles slammed Nabuli as ‘‘stupid’’ for the high shot in the match at Suncorp Stadium won 40-26 by the Force.

The Fiji-born back was also sinbinned in successive weeks back in March.

He got a yellow card for cynical play against the Lions in Johannesbu­rg in round four.

Nabuli was then binned For a deliberate knock down in the Reds clash with the Jaguares in Buenos Aires.

The former St George Illawarra NRL and Fiji rugby league internatio­nal will have his case considered by the committee via video- conference today.

Nabuli 28, will be sent copies of the match officials’ reports in relation to each incident.

The Reds next game is against the Blues in Apia, Samoa, next Friday.

Friday’s home loss to the Force, who scored the last 17 points of the game, appears to have wrecked the Reds hopes of making the playoffs.
