A World Rugby disciplinary committee has reportedly rescinded the red card handed to Franco Mostert during the Springboks’ win over Italy in Turin.
Netwerk24 reports that the committee found that the match officials had erred in issuing the card for his tackle on Italy flyhalf Paolo Garbisi in the Boks’ 32-14 win.
The disciplinary committee has therefore downgraded the 34-year-old Springbok lock’s red card to a yellow.
Mostert’s legal team was reportedly able to prove that there was no contact with the head of the ball-carrier.

According to Netwerk24’s information, coach Rassie Erasmus may therefore consider De Jager for Saturday’s Test against Ireland in Dublin.
An official statement on the matter still needs to be released by the Autumn Nations Series, in which more details about the committee’s decision will be provided.
