Story summary

Hunter Paisami, a center for the Wallabies rugby team, received a four-week suspension on Thursday from SANZAAR (Super Rugby and Southern Hemisphere Rugby) after being yellow-carded during a match against South Africa. The incident occurred in the 75th minute when he was found guilty of dangerous play for a high tackle. With Paisami's ban, Wallabies coach Les Kiss faces challenges as he prepares for the Bledisloe Cup series against New Zealand starting on October 10 at Eden Park. If Paisami’s appeal fails, Jock Campbell will take his place in the squad. The All Blacks have not lost a game at Eden Park since 1986, maintaining an impressive unbeaten streak of 53 games.
