Springbok enforcer Schalk Burger has been banned for eight weeks for gouging Lions winger Luke Fitzgerald in his country's second test 28-25 victory on Sunday.
Burger was yellow carded after just 32 seconds of the game by French referee Christophe Berdos but Bok coach Peter de Villiers refused to condemn his player's actions, saying that the flanker should not even have been sin binned.
