The verdict is in on CJ Stander and it’s not good

It took 14 hours of debate, over two days, but CJ Stander has been banned for a week after his red card at the weekend.

Stander was sent off after 22 minutes of Ireland's 26-20 victory over South Africa at Newlands Stadium. While attempting to block a Pat Lambie chip, Stander's swivelling hip connected with the out-half's chin. Lambie was knocked out and stretchered off soon after. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/741658410328985600 After two days of lengthy deliberation, World Rugby delivered the citing commissioner's verdict on Stander. It came after two days of deliberation and debate. Stander will now miss the second Test against the Boks in Johannesburg but he will be free for the final encounter in Port Elizabeth.
