Tipoki's victim out

Rua Tipoki's victim Jean de Villiers has been ruled out of rugby for 10 days because of the injury caused by the Blues midfielder's punch.

Tipoki was suspended for three weeks following that incident in the Blues-Stormers Super 12 match on Sunday in Cape Town and now centre de Villiers will miss this weekend's match against the Chiefs.

De Villiers was advised the cut under his eye was deep and had not healed sufficiently to play.
