    Thorn suspended for up-ending Smit
    Jul 6, 2008

    New Zealand lock Brad Thorn has been handed a one-week ban for unsportsmanlike behaviour and will miss next weekend's Tri-Nations match against South Africa in Dunedin.

    Thorn was cited after the All Blacks' 19-8 victory over the world champions in Wellington on Saturday, in which the 33-year-old picked up Springboks hooker John Smit in the sixth minute and dumped him on his back after a ruck.

    “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!
