Sailor switched from Queensland to New South Wales this season

Sailor was already suspended for one match, fined A$500 by his New South Wales team and sent home.

But he had a suspended ARU two-match ban hanging over him from another indiscretion with the Wallabies last year in the same South African city.

The ARU also fined him an extra A$3500 for the latest incident outside a club.

I'm pretty disappointed with myself Wendell Sailor

He was unavailable for the Waratahs' Super 14 game against the Stormers with a hamstring strain, and was out drinking in Cape Town the night before the game.

Sailor reportedly pushed a fellow nightclub patron to the ground outside the club after he had gone outside to make a phone call.

"The guy was in my space and I was outside trying to make a call and he was following me, but still, I'm a bit better than that, and it's obviously not something I need to be doing in the position I'm in," he said.

Sailor said he had also vomited outside the club, but could not really remember the scuffle. "Probably had a few too many drinks at the bar in that space of time," he said.

NSWRU chief Fraser Neill said at the time: "It's disappointing and we find it totally unacceptable behaviour."
