South Africa director of rugby found guilty of threats to refereeSuspended from match-day involvement until next autumnRassie Erasmus’s reputation has been shredded after World Rugby threw the book at the
South Africa director of rugby for his outburst during the Lions tour and found him guilty of making threats to a referee.
Erasmus has been banned from all rugby activities for two months – meaning he will miss the match against
England at Twickenham on Saturday – and suspended from all match-day activities until September, having been found guilty of six charges, including threatening the referee, Nic Berry. Erasmus must also apologise to Lions match officials and he has been warned over his future conduct.
