Romain Ntamack Suspended Three Weeks for Dangerous Tackle in Six Nations Opener

The French fly-half's sanction was reduced due to mitigating factors, allowing him to return for the Italy match after completing a World Rugby training program.

  • Romain Ntamack received a three-week suspension following a dangerous tackle against Wales in the Six Nations opener on January 31.
  • The initial six-week suspension was halved due to his acknowledgment of the foul, a clean disciplinary record, and expressions of remorse.
  • An additional week was deducted after Ntamack agreed to participate in a World Rugby coaching program aimed at improving tackle safety.
  • The suspension will see him miss France's match against England on February 8 and a Top 14 game with Toulouse on February 16.
  • Ntamack is expected to return for France's Six Nations match against Italy on February 23, pending completion of the training program.
