Shaw hit with ban


06.07.09

British and Irish Lions lock Simon Shaw has received a two-week ban after being cited for dangerous play during Saturday's third Test victory over South Africa in Johannesburg, the South Africa Rugby Football Union have announced.

England forward Shaw was found guilty of striking Springboks scrum-half Fourie du Preez with his knee just before half time.

Shaw received a yellow card for the offence, but he was then summoned to appear at a disciplinary hearing on Sunday.
