SANZAR has appealed the severity of a one-game ban handed down to Wallabies flanker Michael Hooper, who’s at risk of being rubbed out of tomorrow week’s Rugby Championship decider against the All Blacks in Sydney.
The announcement by SANZAR comes a day after Hooper’s initial two-match ban was halved by the governing body at a judicial hearing because of his clean record.
He was also allowed to serve the suspension by missing Manly’s Sydney club semi-final tomorrow against Randwick.
Hooper was found guilty of striking Argentine five-eighth Nicolas Sanchez in an off-the-ball incident during Australia’s 34-9 weekend win over Argentina in Mendoza.
The SANZAR appeals hearing will be conducted by video conference on Sunday at 5pm (AEST).
