Jasper Wiese, the Springbok eighthman, has been banned for six matches following a red card in his final game for Leicester Tigers against Exeter Chiefs on May 18 in the Gallagher Premiership. The ban, resulting from a dangerous tackle involving lifting another player in violation of World Rugby Law 9.18, means Wiese will miss key upcoming fixtures for South Africa, including matches against Wales, Ireland, Portugal, and Australia. This suspension creates a significant gap for the Springboks, especially with the retirement of Duane Vermeulen. The ban extends into the Rugby Championship, potentially sidelining Wiese for up to eight Test matches.
