Overview

  • Garry Ringrose received a three-match suspension following a head-on-head tackle during Ireland's 27-18 victory over Wales in the Six Nations.
  • The tackle, initially deemed a yellow card, was upgraded to a 20-minute red after video review by match officials.
  • The disciplinary committee applied a reduced ban due to Ringrose's guilty plea, clean disciplinary record, and participation in World Rugby’s Coaching Intervention Programme.
  • Ringrose will miss Ireland's next Six Nations match against France and a Leinster club game but could return for the tournament finale against Italy if he completes the program.
  • Ireland currently leads the Six Nations standings with three wins, but the upcoming match against second-place France could significantly impact the championship outcome.
