South Africa director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has been banned for 2 matches for his tweets in regards to the officiating in final weekend’s defeat by France.
It means he’ll miss this weekend’s assembly with Italy and subsequent Saturday’s sport in opposition to England at Twickenham.
He was given a one-year matchday ban after a video tirade in opposition to the officers in the course of the 2021 sequence with the British and Irish Lions.
Erasmus returned to matchday duties with the Springboks in September.
World Rugby mentioned: “Match officers are the spine of the game and with out them there isn’t any sport.
“World Rugby condemns any public criticism of match official choice, efficiency or integrity, which undermines their function, the trust-based coach/match officers suggestions course of and the values of integrity, respect, solidarity and self-discipline which might be on the coronary heart of the game.”
