The IRB has upheld the 16-week suspension handed to South African Women’s captain Mandisa Williams for allegedly striking and making contact with a player’s eye.
The incedent occured in their opening Women’s World Cup clash against Australia.
The South African Women’s management team appealed against the decision last week Friday, but the judicial officer on Monday upheld the suspension.
The suspension will rule Williams out for the remainder of the Women’s World Cup.
She will also miss the SARU Women’s Interprovincial Series semifinal and possibly final as well as the IRB Women’s Sevens World Series qualifier in Hong Kong and the Dubai International Invitational, among other tournaments.
