Henjak has won three caps
Australia scrum-half Matt Henjak has been sent home after being involved in an incident in a Cape Town bar.

Henjak was in a group of players out in the early hours last Thursday, two days before the Wallabies played South Africa in Johannesburg.

The 23-year-old was also fined A$500 (�220) and given a two-match ban, suspended for two years.

Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor were also fined $500 and given suspended sentences. Matt Dunning was fined $500.

Australia are preparing to play the Springboks again in the opening game of the Tri-Nations on Saturday in Pretoria.

"We do not have curfews, but we do have team standards, and we feel these team standards have been breached," Australia team manager Phil Thomson said.

"Matt Henjak will be sent home for inappropriate behaviour in a public place and breaching team standards."
