Paisami suspended 4 weeks for dangerous tackle in Australia's chaotic rugby win over South Africa
Hunter Paisami has received a four-week suspension for dangerous play during the late stages of Australia's chaotic win over South Africa last Sunday. South hemisphere rugby organizers said Paisami pleaded guilty to a contrary tackle after being yellow-carded in the 76th minute. His dismissal left Australia with 11 players against 15 Springboks after Wallabies captain Harry Wilson, scrumhalf Ryan Lonergan, and winger Joseph-Aukuso Sua’ali’i had already received yellow cards.
Paisami will miss the Bledisloe Cup series against New Zealand this month. Australia is unbeaten in six straight tests. New Zealand is coming off a 3-1 series loss to South Africa.
