Hurricanes lock James Broadhurst won't lose any match time after receiving a warning for a dangerous charge during his side's 35-19 win over the Reds.

Broadhurst, who copped a one-match ban last month, faced another suspension for the incident in the 50th minute.

However, the SANZAR citing commissioner deemed that while the dangerous charge was close to meeting the red card threshold, a warning was appropriate.

Last month, Broadhurst, 27, was banned for one match for a careless knee to the head of Blues flanker Luke Braid.

He had a blemish-free Super Rugby record prior to that.
