Springbok loose-forward Jasper Wiese has been cited for alleged foul play during the 2nd Rugby Championship against Australia.
Wiese is alleged to have contravened Law 9.12: a player must not physically abuse anyone, during the match between Australia and South Africa at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 18 September 2021.
The referee for the match, Matthew Carley, issued a Yellow Card for the incident which occurred in the 78th minute.
Upon further review of the match footage, the Citing Commissioner deemed in his opinion the incident had met the Red Card threshold for foul play.
Following initial consideration by the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee, Wiese will appear at a SANZAAR Judicial Committee Hearing today.
