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.
