Durban - Sharks flank Jean Deysel has been suspended for seven weeks after pleading guilty to foul play.
He kneed Crusaders loose forward Matt Todd in the back of the head during his side's 52-10 loss to the Crusaders in Durban last Saturday.
SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Nicholas Davidson accepted the guilty plea from Deysel for contravening Law 10.4 (a) - Punching or striking, after he was sent off during the game.
