Bulls to Appeal Wessels' Suspension

Wessels was penalized after Connacht flanker Josh Murphy accused him of groping during a United Rugby Championship match.
- Incident occurred in the 18th minute of the Bulls' 28-27 win in Galway.
- Murphy was given a 20-minute red card for reacting angrily and striking Wessels on the head.
- Television match official (TMO) Hollie Davidson found no conclusive video evidence.
Wessels remained on the field until he was substituted in the second half.
