Bulls forward Bakkies Botha has been suspended for three games for striking New South Wales captain Phil Waugh in Saturday's Super 14 rugby union game in Sydney.
Botha appeared before judicial officer Dennis Wheelahan in Sydney on Monday, along with members of the Bulls' team management and legal representatives.
Evidence tendered at the hearing included video footage supplied by the match broadcasters.

BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
