Schoeman has been suspended for six weeks after a biting incident in the side's game against the Rebels at the weekend.
He pleaded guilty to the Sanzaar judicial committee last night, one of the factors behind him receiving a lighter ban.
"Taking into account mitigating factors including the player's early guilty plea, his good character, his good disciplinary record and his remorse the judicial committee reduced the (entry-level suspension of 12 weeks) to a period of six weeks," judicial committee chairman Adam Casselden SC said.
The incident went unpenalised at the time.
