Ruddock warning for Horsman

WALES boss Mike Ruddock has warned Chris Horsman over his future conduct after the Worcester prop was sin-binned at a crucial time in Saturday’s 33-16 defeat to South Africa.

Horsman was called into a meeting with Ruddock at the Wales base yesterday and reminded in no uncertain terms how important discipline is “even in the heat of battle”.

Wales held a man advantage with South Africa full-back Percy Montgomery in the sin-bin and only trailed by seven points when Horsman was yellow-carded for throwing a punch at opposite number CJ van der Linde.
