💨 Abstract

Springbok rugby player Eben Etzebeth faces a potential ban after a disciplinary hearing for an alleged eye gouge on a Welsh player during a match. Etzebeth claims he was provoked and that his actions were "reckless but not intentional." The hearing was delayed due to a split panel decision. Etzebeth, known for his fierce on-field demeanor, has a history of disciplinary issues, including a 2019 bar brawl.
