South Africa director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has been banned from all matchday activity for two games in response to a series of social media posts.
World Rugby has issued the sanction that prevents Erasmus from taking part in Saturday’s clash with Italy and the climax to the Springboks’ European tour against England a week later.
The ban includes engagement with media and social media in relation to match officials and comes a year after he was forced to miss South Africa’s defeat at Twickenham for similar reasons.
