Schalk Brits and Akker van Merwe might have buried the hatchet following the pair’s intense altercation during the Bulls’ 19-16 win over the Sharks.
However, the two occasional Springbok hookers’ reckless fist fight could see them on the sidelines for weeks.
Van der Merwe and Brits are charge with contravening Law 9.12: A player must not physically abuse anyone. Physical abuse includes, but is not limited to punching or striking with the hand or arm.
The incident occurred in the 58th minute of the encounter between at Kings Park at the weekend.

Danie Gerber, Naas Botha, Ray Mordt, and DuPlessis, to name a few; what a team! I believe we could've won another World Cup with those boys playing in their prime.
