Axed: Sisaro Koyamaibole

Fijian international loose forward Sisaro Koyamaibole has been fired by French club Bordeaux-Bègles for not appearing at a disciplinary hearing.

The former Toulon and Sale Sharks number eight was handed a 12-week ban by the ERC for biting London Irish captain Declan Danaher during their Amlin Challenge Cup clash on 13 October.

The French club did not appreciate Koyamaibole's failure to appear before the disciplinary commission and have terminated his contract.

The 32-year-old Fijian played just four games for UBB.

Oh my goodness, where on earth was he? Brings back memories of Rupeni Caucau when the national team management used to summon him using the media to attend training or join them on tour..quite typical of us, I guess..lol

Biting as a natural process in a tackle - are you on something ?

Biting could be construed as natural process in tackle: Eye gouging is more extreme.
