France flyhalf Romain Ntamack has been suspended for three weeks after receiving a red card for a dangerous tackle on Wales' Ben Thomas during their Six Nations match. The ban will see him miss France's clash with England but he will be available for the Italy game on February 23.
France flyhalf Romain Ntamack was on Wednesday ruled out of this weekend’s Six Nations showdown with bitter rivals England after being hit with a three-week ban, officials said.
Ntamack was punished for the red card he received following a dangerous tackle on opposite number Ben Thomas in the 43-0 rout of Wales in Paris on Friday. He will miss Saturday’s clash with England at Twickenham but will be available for selection to face Italy in Rome on February 23.Ntamack, 25, and playing in his first Test since August 2023, was initially given just a yellow card for his tackle on Thomas but that was upgraded to red.
It was the flyhalf’s first red card of his career. He could have been hit with a six-week ban but the Six Nations disciplinary committee ruled that his “exemplary disciplinary record” allowed for the sanction to be halved.Whether you're traveling to catch a rugby game or just looking for a reliable ride, finding the right car is crucial.
