Western Stormer Zas banned for two weeks

02 May, 2016

JOHANNESBURG: Western Stormers winger Leolin Zas was banned Monday for two weeks after a dangerous challenge on NSW Waratahs fly-half Bernard Foley in a Super Rugby match.

The Australian fell on his head and shoulder after coming into contact with the South African in Cape Town last Saturday during a match won 32-30 by the Sydney-based franchise.

Wallaby Foley recovered unscathed from the collision and his conversion in the final minute of a Michael Hooper try won the match for the Waratahs.

Zas will miss a South African inter-provincial match next weekend and a Super Rugby fixture against the Tokyo-based Sunwolves in Singapore on May 14.
