Etzebeth banned, Botha to join Boks

Etzebeth banned, Botha to join Boks

10 Sep 2012

Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth has received a two-week suspension for his headbutt on Wallabies No 5 Nathan Sharpe.

The transgression was not punished by the referee in last Saturday’s Test, but Etzebeth has been subsequently suspended following a disciplinary hearing on Monday. Etzebeth will miss the Boks’ match against the All Blacks in Dunedin.

Nigel Hampton QC stated that this was not an attempt just to push the opposing player away by using his head without contact being made. ‘The player brought his forehead forward and downward with a degree of speed and force into the nose area of the opposing player making contact with that player,’ he said. ‘This was a deliberate act done as a part of an episode of escalating “tit for tat” pushing and shoving between the two players. As to sanction, intentional striking with the head into the face of another is not to be countenanced under any circumstances.’

Bok coach Heyneke Meyer has confirmed that veteran lock Bakkies Botha, who is currently playing for Toulon in France, will join the squad. Meyer clarified that Botha will not be considered to start against the All Blacks. Flip van der Merwe and Andries Bekker are existing locking options that didn’t start in Perth.

The Boks picked up three injuries in last Saturday’s match. Jannie du Plessis tweaked his hamstring, Pat Cilliers strained a ligament in his elbow and Bryan Habana sustained an ankle injury.

Team doctor Craig Roberts said that Habana should be fit for the Test against the All Blacks in Dunedin, but Du Plessis and Cilliers are in doubt and front-row replacements are likely to be summoned from South Africa.

    @optiplay-333: ??? Mealamu hit a prone Moody with a flying headbutt to the back of the head (you know boxers aren’t even allowed to punch the back of the head for safety reasons, right?), what NZ pulled in his defence so that he could get paid by the Barbarians was a disgrace, almost as bad as 2005 when along with Umugger he tried to turn the world’s greatest centre into a pot plant.

    @Robzim-345: yeah it will probably be fixed, the white buffalo is at the ‘any payday will do’ stage of his boxing career and is not known to be the most scrupulous of characters.

    @PielNeus-352:

    you dont understand how the world works.

    etzebeth’s suspension and now subsequent lifelong disciplinary record will for the rest of his rugby career mar both his personal efforts at achievement and success and the springboks successes as a team if ever there is an opportunity (and i do not doubt there will be plenty) to use it against them.

    this was a carefully contrived setup by this filthy kiwi scum with the purpose of tainting him as a dangerous south african bok basher ‘typical number 4 type’ for whom the harshest sentences must be used and who are to be played filthily off the pitch, from behind closed doors, in backrooms and in any way neccesary because after all… ‘its for the good of the game’ (read kiwi, oz success) and is the supposedly morally justified thing to do because, again… ‘just look at their history’.

    how funny these self same filthy scum kunnts with so much concern for the good of the game saw no reason or need to make anything out of the multiple punches thrown between thomson and crockett in the kiwi semifinal?

    the silly saffa ref issued a white putting it on review only for the sensible kiwi judicial scum to scoff off there was ‘nothing in it’ and so duly threw it out…?..

    haha

    or how bout taimefuna’s coconut tackle on kankowski. that gets a week and a faked headbutt gets two..

    what a larf

    poppa is a piece of scum, dont fool yourself, he’s done and said worse, as is most of the kiwis who come here (there are a few good ones) and the less said about the kiwis involved in nz rugby the better.
    i will say they are low life cretin cowards. filthy and scum is one thing but to be filthy, scummy and a coward is another.

    Eben had to strip his m00r at some point. He kep a lid onnit in the Super 15. with all the negativity in the results and himplaying his guts out , he just snapped against a real varkbul aussie. I think he has it out of hes system, and wil feel liberated by the fact that mense now know he has a meanness in him too.
