Wiese's hearing took place on Tuesday morning following the red card he received for an incident that occurred in the 20th minute of the match against Italy at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium last weekend.

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus told reporters that he was comfortable with the hearing process and felt the suspension Wiese received was 'fair'. World Rugby announced that the 29-year-old received a four-match suspension following the disciplinary hearing.

 The ban rules him out of the closing Incoming Series match against Georgia in Nelspruit in South Africa's Mpumalanga province on Saturday, as well as the first three Rugby Championship Tests against Australia in Johannesburg and Cape Town respectively (August 16 & 23), and the first game against New Zealand in Auckland (September 6).
