Bryce Heem suspended for two weeks

Rugby Football Union (RFU) disciplinary panel has handed a two-week suspension to Worcester Warriors wing Bryce Heem following his red card sanction during the recently concluded Aviva Premiership game against Wasps at Ricoh Arena.

The incident happened in the 45th minute of the game when he performed a tackle on Wasps wing Willie le Roux which Dai Young's men capitalised and scored three tries between 53rd and 72nd minute to win the encounter 40-33.

The 28-year-old appeared in front of a three-man disciplinary panel on Monday and pleaded guilty to the charges.

"The panel deemed that the actions of Heem were reckless and in part affected by the running line of Wasps' number 13," the RFU disciplinary panel said.

"Notwithstanding this, the player accepted his actions merited the award of a red card and the panel, having heard direct evidence from Wasps' Willie Le Roux, found this was a low-end entry point."
