Pretoria - Bulls centre JP Nel will face a disciplinary committee for a second running after he was yellow-carded for a spear tackle on World Cup Springbok Francois Steyn in the 69th minute of the Super 14 match against the Shark at Loftus on Saturday.

During Nel's absence the Sharks turned the match around and scored three tries, taking the score from 10-15 to 29-15.

Nel will be joined at the disciplinary hearing on Monday by prop Jaco Engels, who was cited for punching Sharks captain Johann Muller in a ruck.

Nel was last week found not guilty of a tackle with a swinging arm against the Crusaders. Renowned for his tackles that border on dangerous, Nel was probably a little unfortunate to be sent to the cooler by referee Mark Lawrence in Saturday's game.
