Wiese happy to face All Blacks after ‘stupid’ headbutt

The Mercury

September 12, 2025

IF THE other 22 Springboks on the field against the All Blacks in Wellington tomorrow have the same hunger as Jasper Wiese, South Africa's chances of victory look strong.

- MIKE GREENAWAY

Wiese, finally released from the suspension he incurred with a moment of madness in the second Test against Italy in July, showed a mix of remorse, emotion, and determination when he faced the media yesterday ahead of the return Rugby Championship clash against New Zealand.

"I'm very privileged to be back in the mix this week,” said the contrite 29-year-old. “I’ve been frustrated with myself over the past few weeks for doing something so stupid,” he added, referring to the four-match ban he received for a (relatively mild) headbutt on an Italian player.
