A rare lapse in judgment from an otherwise cerebral player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The South African 5\/10: <\/strong>\u201cFor all his excellence on the rugby field, Jasper Wiese sometimes does exceptionally daft things. He was red carded as early as the 22nd minute for a clear head-butt. And while his thuggish behaviour may not have proved costly for the Springboks today, it could have major repercussions against better opposition in more significant games. He needs a stern talking to after this stunt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetrugby.com\/news\/springboks-player-ratings-star-forward-causes-utter-mayhem-as-salmaan-moerat-fails-to-quash-question-marks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Planet Rugby 2\/10<\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cAfter a confident start to proceedings, Wiese\u2019s evening hit a disastrous roadblock when he was red-carded for head-butting\u00a0Italy prop, Danilo Fischetti. Referee\u00a0Andrew Brace issued the Springboks number eight with a straight red card, bypassing the 20-minute red card rule due to the action being deemed\u00a0deliberate and highly dangerous.
