Springbok lock Lood de Jager was sent off in the first half of last Saturday’s game against France after making shoulder-to-the head contact with France fullback Thomas Ramos, and he has now learned his fate after subsequently appearing at a disciplinary hearing.
Referee Angus Gardner, after a long consultation with his assistants, ultimately decided to issue a straight red card, which led a widespread reaction on social media.
After a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday, it’s now been confirmed that De Jager has received a four-match ban, which will see him miss the upcoming Tests against Italy, Ireland and Wales.
