Lood off the Hook

South Africa No 5, Lood de Jager appeared before an independent Appeal Committee last evening via video link having lodged an appeal against his initial sanction for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.13 in the match between South Arica vs France on Saturday 8th November 2025.

The independent Appeal Committee was chaired by Christopher Quinlan KC, joined by Roger Morris (Wales) and Becky Essex (England).

On review of the case that was presented to the Disciplinary Committee and having considered submissions advanced on behalf of the Appellant, the Appeal Committee dismissed the appeal against the finding that he committed an act of foul play which merited a red card and also against the suspension.
