After hearing the evidence and submissions made by Gerrie Swart, representative of the player, the Judicial Officer was not satisfied on the balance of probability that the referee, Mathieu Raynal of France, was wrong when he issued the red card to the player.
This is when the decision came to suspend the 26-year-old.
The second test will be played at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg.
After this match, Stander will be free to play again.
