Springbok eighthman Jasper Wiese was a relieved man to finally see his mammoth six game ban from rugby come to an end, just in time to take on the All Blacks in a massive Rugby Championship match at Ellis Park on Saturday . Due to his club not having any franchise games since then, his suspension was served during the Boks’ international games, with him missing the first six Tests of the season.on Tuesday afternoon that it had been a frustrating time out, but that he was just grateful to be back and ready to play, and that he wasn’t looking back on whether the ban was harsh or not.
“If you are out for so long, it is frustrating but it doesn’t help to say it should’ve been this way or that way. It doesn’t help to look back and say it was unfair.”After Duane Vermeulen retired after last year’s World Cup, Wiese was set to take the mantle of frontline Bok eighthman, but in his absence this season the position has been rotated with Kwagga Smith, Evan Roos and Elrigh Louw all starting two games each at the back of the scrum.
