The independent Disciplinary Committee was chaired by Richard Cole (Wales), joined by former international referee Valeriu Toma (Romania) and former international player Stefan Terblanche (South Africa).

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 the low-end entry point of six weeks was appropriate with the full 50% mitigation applied, based on exemplary record, good conduct and having shown immediate remorse, reducing the sanction to three weeks.

The suspension will cover the following matches:

27 April 2024 – Ireland vs Scotland, Six Nations
12 May 2024 – Loughborough Lightning vs Gloucester-Hartpury, PWR
18 May 2024 – Loughborough Lightning vs Harlequins, PWR
