Watch - Jasper Wiese sees red in last game for Leicester
By Ian Cameron
Springbok back row Jasper Wiese signed off from Leicester Tigers with a red card after being sent off as his side beat Exeter Chiefs at Welford Road on Saturday.
Leicester bagged a 40-22 victory over Exeter despite the incident that happened 12 minutes from full time, with Wiese seemingly losing his cool at a ruck following a clean-out on a teammate by the an Exeter forward.
Wiese appeared to lift Exeter replacement Ross Vintcent from the ground before dispositing him back down clumsily.
Referee Karl Dickson decided it met the red card threshold and sent him from the field following a TMO review.

The Springbok No.8 Wiese has been no stranger to cards during his time with Leicester Tigers.
Despite ending his time on a sour note, Wisee will be remembered fondly by Tigers' fans as one of their finest imports.
The red card could mean that the No.8 will miss Test availability for the Springboks, who play Ireland later this summer in a two match tour of South Africa.
If he is suspended for one or more of the summer Tests, it could open the door for Stormers' back row Evan Roos at No.8.

Great to see the biggest clash between the Boks and ABs. The Boks have a better replacement bench and a developing squad for RWC 2027. The ABs could have won but for poor penalty kicks from DMac and a bad decision from Scott Barrett to kick for touch and not at the poles. Le Roux should be pensioned off and either Fassi or Willemse when fit play fullback. Sacha must not try to be too fancy but has great potential. Pollard is still the best 10. Hopefully Libbok gets his chance to play in Argentina. Etsebeth and Marx enjoyed immense games. The ABs are a work in progress but they require better forward like those of old AB teams.

Rugby pass seem to have a different scale for each player based on the authors expectations or how much he likes them.
Can't fathom how Moodie and Reece both were a 3.
