| Springboks charged for protest |
06 July: The International Rugby Board has charged South Africa with misconduct after the Springboks wore armbands in the final Test against the British and Irish Lions in support of banned player Bakkies Botha. The second-row forward was suspended for two weeks for 'dangerous charging' after taking out Lions' prop Adam Jones, who sustained a dislocated shoulder in the incident. The IRB said in a statement that wearing the armbands "demonstrates a clear disregard of the disclipinary process". The armbands read "Justice 4", with 4 being the number of the suspended player.
