CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa's director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has withdrawn his appeal against a two-month ban and apologised to referee Nic Berry for his 62-minute video critique of the match official after the first test against the British & Irish Lions in July.
Erasmus was found guilty of misconduct by an independent committee last week and suspended from all rugby for two months - and all match-day activities until Sept. 30, 2022 - while South African Rugby were fined 20,000 pounds ($26,630). The latter have also withdrawn their appeal against their sanction.
