Cited Habana a doubt for clash with Ireland

BRYAN HABANA could miss South Africa’s showdown with Ireland on November 28 after being cited for allegedly kicking an opponent during the Springboks’ 20-13 test defeat to France in Toulouse.

Habana, 26, is due to appear before a disciplinary hearing tomorrow. The minimum recommended entry level punishment for kicking an opponent is four weeks.

The Springboks face Italy on Saturday and then travel to Dublin for a Croke Park clash between the Six Nations and Tri-Nations champions.
