Ireland's Garry Ringrose Suspended for Three Matches After Dangerous Tackle

The center will miss Ireland's pivotal Six Nations match against France but could return for the final game against Italy if he completes a tackle intervention program.

• 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.
