AUSTRALIA said on Wednesday it will not proceed with an appeal against a two-match suspension handed out to their number eight Toutai Kefu. Kefu, one of Australia’s star players at the World Cup, was given a 14-day ban by the disciplinary committee on Tuesday for his part in a punch-up with Irish flanker Trevor Brennan in Sunday’s group E match in Dubline which Australia won 23-3. Australian Rugby Union officials released a statement on Wednesday saying they are still far from pleased with the citings procedure. The statement said Kefu’s actions were out of character. While he still maintains he was acting in self-defence, he had expressed regret over his actions and would accept the penalty.
