Springbok back row Jasper Wiese signed off from Leicester Tigers with a red card after being sent off as his side beat Exeter Chiefs at Welford Road on Saturday.

Leicester bagged a 40-22 victory over Exeter despite the incident that happened 12 minutes from full time, with Wiese seemingly losing his cool at a ruck following a clean-out on a teammate by the an Exeter forward.

Wiese appeared to lift Exeter replacement Ross Vintcent from the ground before dispositing him back down clumsily.

Referee Karl Dickson decided it met the red card threshold and sent him from the field following a TMO review.

The Springbok No.8 Wiese has been no stranger to cards during his time with Leicester Tigers.

Despite ending his time on a sour note, Wisee will be remembered fondly by Tigers’ fans as one of their finest imports.

The red card could mean that the No.8 will miss Test availability for the Springboks, who play Ireland later this summer in a two match tour of South Africa.

If he is suspended for one or more of the summer Tests, it could open the door for Stormers’ back row Evan Roos at No.8.

don’t want to sound dramatic but this is not worthy of suspension, rather a suspended prison sentence

If they get their selection right, and see Andrew Porter's driving angle penalised, the Wallabies could turn a traditional weakness into their trump card.

Would not go as far as whole house in our family, but for me, yes, W1. Loved playing in the scrum, love watching now😀

Yes, I see that article here on RP, Nick. That is good news that Schmidt is going to look at the o’seas players.

Yes, I would think you are right that LAR will qualify. On the same points as MP, but surely they are too good not to win this crunch game….could be tEnse for ROG in the stands though.

Who would make it into a Women's British and Irish Lions starting XV?

I would pick Oifa Wafer at 6, put Aldcroft in the second row with Ward. I think Wafer is one of the few non-England players mentioned that would contend for a Red Rose shirt, the others being King and possibly Neve Jones. Conversely there are two English players mentioned, Sing and Venner, that probably won’t even make the Red Rose WC squad, let alone a Lions Tour. Still a lot can change in two years, watch out for Millie David.

Great article NB, thanks. I would like to know what is the reasoning why so many things are penalties in the scrum. Is it to do with safety or something else?

Always the same at the other place. Some of those perceptions of him at the Tahs - lazy, overweight and slow - were impossible to shift!

They will prob want him for the Lions and maybe sacrifice the Novemeber tour window in order to do so. You could add that Skelton is prob more important to the WB cause than any of the French based to the Lions?

As the balance of power shifts away from Ireland, has Andy Farrell got his Lions calls right?

Depends on gameplan and conditions. LBB and Penaud behind a retreating pack won’t be as effective. True, Lowe is not the fastest, but almost unstoppable close to the line, has a booming boot for exists and, like most Kiwi backs, reads the game extremely well. If my team was being dragged into the gutters on a rainy night, I would easily pick Lowe over LBB and Penaud. If my backline had constent front-foot ball then, sure, LBB and Penaud. If Kolbe and KLA wasn’t available of course.

Will LAR be prepared to release him to the Wallabies outside the international window?

Interesting that Blair Kinghorn is the only player selected for the Lions playing in France, which gives some idea of the difficulty in introducing a player into the squad, whilst training and some games have/are been played.

Hmmmm Kolbe I can go with but Lowe ahead of LBB or Penaud? Nah, you’ve lost me on that one. A coach like Joe Schmidt will have a plan to stitch up Lowe like a kipper, faster oil tankers out there these days!

I'm constantly amazed at the negative comments both on here and more so at the other place re Skelton.
