Bok frustration grows as Stick questions red card consistency
Cape Argus
|November 18, 2025
SPRINGBOK assistant coach Mzwandile Stick did his best to remain diplomatic about the red card epidemic affecting the team this season, but he could not hold back at a Dublin media conference, saying the Springboks are being treated “unfairly”.
The red card suffered by Franco Mostert against Italy last week was the final straw in a season marred by contentious sendoffs for Lood de Jager, Jasper Wiese, and Makazole Mapimpi, while Jan-Hendrik Wessels missed the tour following a bizarre no-evidence ban after a Bulls game against Connacht.
The Boks face Ireland on Saturday and may yet have the services of Mostert, who could be exonerated when his hearing takes place today or tomorrow. De Jager, meanwhile, has appealed against his four-match suspension.
“As a team, we are just disappointed with how things are flowing at the moment. We are losing players every week,” Stick said.
