DURBAN - Ox Nche has been slapped with a three-week suspension for dangerous play.
The Sharks prop’s fate was decided by an independent disciplinary hearing.
It followed his carding for a head-on-head contact with Harlequins hooker Jack Walker at the weekend.
Nche was found to be in violation of a rule banning dangerous tackles.
The panel did not accept his argument that the red card was not warranted.
