LEINSTER PROP MICHAEL Ala’alatoa has been handed a three week suspension following his red card in last weekend’s Champions Cup final defeat to La Rochelle.
Under World Rugby’s sanction for foul play, Law 9.20 carries the following sancton entry points – low end: two weeks, mid-range: six weeks; top end: 10-52 weeks.On Wednesday, an independent disciplinary committee studied video imagery of the incident and heard evidence from Ala’alatoa, who accepted the red card decision.
As the player has a clear disciplinary record and due to his acceptance of the red card, it was decided to grant him the full 50% mitigation and the committee therefore reduced the sanction by three weeks before imposing a three-week suspension.
