England Rugby Player Jonny Hill Receives 10-Week Ban for Fan Altercation
The ban stems from an incident involving physical abuse of a spectator after a Sale Sharks match last season.
- Hill admitted to physically abusing a fan after Sale's defeat at Bath in June.
- The RFU disciplinary panel initially considered a 20-week suspension but reduced it due to mitigating circumstances.
- Hill's ban includes six active weeks and four weeks suspended until the end of the 2025-26 season.
- He is required to present to young players as part of his disciplinary measures.
- Hill will be eligible to return to play on December 7, following recovery from a previous injury.
