Springboks Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus has been banned from all rugby activity for two months with immediate effect following a disciplinary hearing after he was charged with misconduct during the Test series versus the British and Irish Lions.

Planet Rugby reports he has also been banned from any involvement on a matchday until September 30 next year, while SA Rugby must pay a fine of $20,000.

Both Erasmus and SA Rugby must also apologise for their actions.
