💨 Abstract

Eben Etzebeth faces a disciplinary hearing for an eye gouge incident during a rugby match against Wales. The hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, could result in a suspension ranging from 4 to 24 weeks, depending on whether the act is deemed intentional or reckless. Etzebeth's legal team may argue that he was provoked and that this is his first red card in 141 Test matches. The outcome will significantly impact his availability for the Sharks' season.
