(Photo by Craig Williamson / SNS Group) The independent Disciplinary Committee was chaired by Rhian Williams (Wales), joined by former international referee Donal Courtney (Ireland) and former international player Olly Kohn (Wales).
Having accepted that the act of foul play justified the red card and by applying World Rugby’s sanctioning provisions, the Disciplinary Committee determined that whilst reckless, the low-range entry point of two weeks was appropriate with the full 50% mitigation applied, based on an exemplary disciplinary record, good conduct and having shown remorse, reducing the sanction to one week.
The suspension will cover the following match:
