Watch: Pote Human banned after fight in US
The former Bulls coach, who is now coaching in the US, will also have to do community service and pay a fine.
South African coach Pote Human has been slapped with a lengthy ban after a fight with an opposing coach in Major League Rugby in the United States.
The incident took place during a match between the Houston Sabercats and Rugby New York.
Human, who coaches the Houston Sabercats, was, according to a social media post, incensed by New York high-performance coach Ollie Richardson’s berating of Houston’s players during a water break.
The former Blue Bulls coach stormed onto the field to protect his players and got into a confrontation with Richardson, leading to both being ejected from the game.
