The South African franchise are disputing the three-match ban handed to hooker JJ Kotze for his red card against Bristol, and a disciplinary hearing will now take place on Wednesday.

The DHL Stormers are disputing a three-match ban issued to hooker JJ Kotze following a red card against Bristol Bears in the Champions Cup. Kotze was dismissed in the 33rd minute by referee Kevin Bralley for a dangerous tackle on Kieran Marmion. Despite the dismissal, the Stormers secured a 49-12 victory, but the club has refused the Foul Play Review Committee's proposed sanction, sending the matter to a Wednesday hearing.
Elsewhere, Toulouse accepted a three-match suspension for prop Rodrigue Neti after his red card in a 43-40 victory over Exeter Chiefs. Neti was disciplined for a tackle on Ross Vintcent and could reduce his ban via World Rugby's Coaching Intervention Programme.
