Sam Cane has been handed a three-match ban following the Rugby World Cup final red card.

All Blacks (New Zealand) captain Sam Cane has been officially handed a three-match ban by a disciplinary committee for his dangerous Rugby World Cup final tackle on South African centre Jessie Kriel.

In the 27th minute of the All Blacks’ defeat to South Africa in Paris, Cane made contact with the head of Jesse Kriel when making a tackle. 

Referee Wayne Barnes deemed the collision worthy of a yellow card, with the TMO bunker later upgrading the decision to red.

On Monday, Cane appeared before a disciplinary committee which vindicated the decision to send the back row off.
