SA Rugby has reportedly rebuked Robbie Kruse after the stadium announcer taunted England star Henry Pollock during the recent Nations Championship Test at Ellis Park.
According to Rapport, Kruse met with SA Rugby president Mark Alexander following the incident last week and was stood down for Saturday’s win for the Springboks over Scotland at Loftus.
Kruse is expected to return to his post in future.

The radio and TV personality is understood to have been heard shouting “Tackle him! Tackle him! Hurt him! We’re going to hurt Henry Pollock tonight!” during last week’s game.
Kruse declined to comment when approached by Rapport and referred the news outlet’s queries to SA Rugby.
However, he posted an apology on social media, addressed to Pollock and his family, describing his behaviour as “a moment of madness” and promised it wouldn’t happen again.
