Watch - Jasper Wiese sees red in last game for Leicester

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.

Nigel Owens' verdict on the 20-minute red card trial

Player welfare and how they conduct themselves during the session of a rugby match is what WR wants to enforce for the safety of all concerned.


In comparison to a blatant act of thuggery deserving the full extent of the laws, what peeves me is when players take an accidental hit, milk it by doing a hollywood the other player gets sent off and they suddenly seem fit enough to play on.


Which in my opinion is an act contravening the conduct of good sportsmanship and should be punished by a yellow card.

Nigel Owens' verdict on the 20-minute red card trial

I agree. However, I don’t think that rugby officialdom have the courage to stand behind the reality that some head contact is accidental, and not preventable.

Boks and Pumas lead southern charge, but the north are ahead of the game

So so true. Well said. Personally, I'd like to see Nohamba in a Bulls jersey. It will elevate his talent to the max and we would see him in the Bok side as a permanent addition. He needs the right players around him. He is as talented as Sacha, but gets way less chance to prove his abilities.

Very well said. No bias, just facts. It's a team sport, and you need more than one star to win a game or tournament. You need exceptional players across the board and the Boks currently have at least 2 Main sides, the an A team and then a B-team if you will. Rassie is a great coach with great vision. I'm sure he changes up his team's more than he would like, but that's how it has to be to create the depth that's needed for any team in the world who intends on being one of the best. Hate or love the Boks, no one can deny their supremacy even though they try. It's all down to one man. The genius and innovative Dr Rassie effect on rugby will change the game irrevocably. Already has. The way he uses the bench has already filtered down to club and amateur levels. His defensive strategies, his effect on the game is just marvelous and the way he gets everyone involved, supporter and non supporters alike.

Ardie was overused and looks tired. They put the onus on him to win every game for the AB's. It's a team sport and he is one man. He can do only so much. Tired even less.

Former All Black’s surprise praise for NPC versus Super Rugby Pacific

Nar theres not that many provinces able to sustain a pro team, it needs to mix with clubs. Turn the SR sides into clubs and join them with 8 or 9 provinces. Or maybe get 8 clubs to v 8 provinces for a full season.

Turning out in droves lol I suppose it has been compared to normal, but Rugby Park in Invercargill is the only place I remember seeing full stadiums.


Caught Cam Roigard today, single handedly help turn the tide for Counties. Bonus that, he helped get them in the playoffs so might start next week.

Former Wallaby declares Fraser McReight world’s best openside flanker

Not even close. He is good, but no super star, nor will he be in his lifetime. He won nothing. I had to google him to find out who he is. Claiming a statement which is true for you don't make it true through stats. I can name plenty of players who isn't even international players that far exceeds him. Pieter-Steph du Toit is so far ahead of the rest, there is no comparison. He is the world's best, not just this year or last year. He is consistently the top. No one tackles like him, run like him, break tackles like him, offload like him etc etc etc. I can carry on and on and on. It's not just my personal opinion, but also proven fact by stats. The reason you won't see him as the best is because he is South African. It's like a racist thing in the world where those not from SA hates on the Boks. Small minded folks with nothing good to say. Instead of concentrating on what the Boks brings to the world of rugby, the amazing superstars, no matter their race or origin. Instead of celebrating the innovations, the more exciting play and the Boks making the world talk about rugby, not just the regular fans, but previously non supporters. Nevermind that Bernard LaPorte stole the RWC hosting rights for 2023. The team who have won the most world cups in 2 less additions than everyone else. No, hate is the way to go it seems like. The AB's aren't the team everyone wants to beat. Neither is the French or Irish who think they can claim every trophy because their fans think they are the best. No, the real best team, the most successful team gets screwed over time and again. The Boks won their 1st WC at home. The next 3 WC trophies they won away from home. The Boks have won the easiest and the most difficult route to the final of WC's. Who else can claim that? The Boks were the 1st team to win a WC AFTER losing a game in the round robin phase. How many records need to be broken? How many trophies needs to be won? How much more dominant does a team have to be to be the best? When does it become more about hate than the truth about rugby?

It was but the styles have changed a lot. Look at the Bulls and the Stormers. The Sharks is a bit overbearing with stars and underperforming successes. The Lions is playing amazing rugby with no name players. The Boks may have been one dimensional at one stage, but the local teams always loved running rugby. It just didn't translate to Test rugby until recently

Name the so called regular positive drug players. Except for Elton Jantjies who hasn't been part of SA rugby for a long time now, there hasn't been any others. You are no rugby guru. Just a sad little excuse with opinions no one agree with not care about
