JOHANNESBURG (AFP) - South Africa tighthead prop CJ van der Linde has been handed a four-week ban stemming from last Saturday's Tri-Nations Test between the world champions and Australia in Durban.
Van der Linde and the Bok management team received the news on Tuesday following a hearing in Durban on Monday.
The World Cup winning prop was found guilty of dangerous play at a ruck after striking Australia scrumhalf Sam Cordingley with his head during Saturday's match. He has been suspended from all rugby until September 22.
Australia won the match 27-15, their first victory in South Africa since 2000.
They face the Springboks again in Johannesburg this weekend, before returning home to complete their Tri-Nations schedule against New Zealand in Brisbane on September 13.
