Jaque Fourie has partly won his appeal against his 4-week ban by SANZAR.

SANZAR’s Appeals Committee comprising Terry Willis (Australia, Chairman), Bruce Squire QC (NZ) and Jannie Lubbe SC (South Africa) have convened and deliberated the appeal of SA centre Jaque, following the 4-week suspension by the Judicial Officer, Paul Tully, following the Tri-Nations Test between New Zealand and South Africa at Hamilton, NZ, on 12 September 2009.

Jaque Fourie was represented by Aaron Lloyd and the Committee decided to uphold the finding of guilty, in other words tha Jaque’s tackle was a lifting tackle and in breach of IRB Law 10.4 (i).

The imposed sanction for the offence was found to be too severe and inappropriate and amended the sanction so that the player was suspended from 14 September up to and including 3 October 2009.

Jaque Fourie will accordingly miss 2 further Absa Currie Cup matches, on 26 September and 3 October.
