# Rugby: Stormers prop Neethling Fouche has been given a four-game ban following a red card in last weekend’s United Rugby Championship 38-34 loss again Ulster. Fouche was sent off by Italian referee Andrea Piardi for head-on-head contact while trying to tackle Ben Carson. A URC disciplinary committee ruled the incident indeed met the red card threshold. The suspension was reduced to four games due to Fouche’s good record, remorse and exemplary conduct before and during the hearing. He will now miss the Stormer’s home URC games against Connacht, Benneton, Dragons and Cardiff.
