seems the poms have put the boot into corne.
i saw the headbutts (?) and they certainly didnt warrant 8 weeks
i dont believe the first one was even a head butt.
10 mins in the bin would have done it.
English rugby officials have blocked former South Africa captain Corne Krige's hopes of playing for the Barbarians next month.
Krige was suspended until 21 June after head-butting Waikato Chiefs' Derek Maisey while playing for the Stormers.
But Super 12 officials ruled he could still play for the Baa-Baas.
However the RFU council have voted to bar him from games against Scotland, Wales and England on the advice of disciplinary officer Jeff Blackett.
Krige, who has been linked with a move to Northampton next season, has now retired from Super 12.
After receiving the eight-week suspension for the Maisey incident, back-row forward Krige said: "This is not how I wanted to end my Stormers playing days. I have let the team and the supporters down."
