Sam Cane: New Zealand captain banned for three games after World Cup final red card
Written by I Dig Sports
New Zealand captain Sam Cane has been banned for three games for his red card in the World Cup final.
Cane intends to complete a tackling course which will reduce the ban by one game, meaning he will miss two matches for new side Suntory Sungoliath in Japan.
The flanker was sent off for a high tackle on Jesse Kriel in the 12-11 defeat by South Africa last month.
He has taken a sabbatical from Waikato Chiefs to spend a season in Japan.
The 31-year-old is likely to make his Suntory debut against Urayasu D-Rocks on 2 December.
Cane, the first player to be sent off in a men's World Cup final, said after the match: "Unfortunately it is something I am going to have to live with forever."
