Heem gets suspended

Worcester wing Bryce Heem has been given a two-week ban after pleading guilty to an RFU disciplinary charge relating to his red card in Sunday’s 40-33 loss to Wasps.

The New Zealandborn flyer was sent off in the second half of the Aviva Premiership game at the Ricoh Arena for tackling Wasps’ Willie Le Roux in the air.

Heem was called to a hearing in Bristol on Monday and, having pleaded guilty, is free to play again on Tuesday, April 18.
