RUGBY UNION: South Africa have been charged with misconduct by the International Rugby Board for their protest against the suspension of Bakkies Botha.
The Springboks sported white armbands with the message “Justice 4 Bakkies” during Sunday’s third Test against the British and Irish Lions after Botha was given a two-week ban for a dangerous charge on prop Adam Jones.
The IRB claim the South Africa Rugby Union is in breach of “regulations relating to the game, including breaches of the IRB code of conduct.”
