Rugby: Boks won’t appeal Wiese’s four-match ban after his red card against Italy

# Rugby: The Springboks have decided not to appeal loose forward Jasper Wiese’s four-match ban after his red card in the second Test against Italy in Gqeberha. He will miss this Saturday’s one-off Test against Georgia in Mbombela as well as the first three Rugby Championships matches. Bok coach Rassie Erasmus praised the disciplinary process, saying Wiese was able to give a good account of his side of the story when he head-butted Italian prop Danilo Fischetti. Erasmus believes the ban was fair.
