Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has escaped with a slap on the wrist following an incident during Saturday’s test match against Scotland at Murrayfield in Scotland.

Kolisi has received a citing commissioner warning from World Rugby after striking Scotland centre Peter Horne during his side 26-20 win.

On the half-hour mark, Kolisi, while held on the ground by Horne, used the back of his head to strike his opponent.

World Rugby has announced that Kolisi’s action did not warrant a red card and just a warning was issued.
