Long ban coming.
South Africa have just absolutely demolished Wales 73-0 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff – but the result isn’t what everyone is gonna be talking about.
Springbok forward Eben Etzsebeth was given a permanent red card in the 79th minute for a moment of absolute madness, which will no doubt result in a very long ban.
The towering lock appears to have absolutely lost his head with Alex Mann, finger gouging the Wales flanker.
Have a look for yourself below.
Completely unnecessary.
Brain-less from Eben Etzebeth. A long ban loading.#WALvRSA pic.twitter.com/VWFwTt9tAD
