SOUTH Africa front rower Jan-Hendrik Wessels has received a nine-match suspension for grabbing Josh Murphy’s genitals in the Bulls‘ 28-27 win over Connacht last Friday. Wessels remained on the field while Connacht forward Murphy was given a 20-minute red card after reacting angrily by striking Wessels on the head.
Murphy’s red card has been rescinded by a disciplinary panel who banned Wessels for 12 weeks, reduced by three because of the player’s good conduct prior to the hearing.
