Etzebeth to learn fate after gouging incident

JOHANNESBURG - Eben Etzebeth is set to learn his fate on Tuesday afternoon.

The Springbok lock will appear before a disciplinary committee following the red card he received for an alleged eye gouge.

The incident took place during last Saturday’s 73-0 drubbing of Wales in Cardiff.

Etzebeth got involved in a scuffle after coming on as a replacement.

The Television Match Official showed replays of the 34-year-old making contact with the eyes of Alex Mann.

If found guilty of eye gouging, Etzebeth will be banned from rugby from anything between four to 12 weeks.
