Ala’alatoa had come into the game as a replacement before he received a straight red card in the 78th minute for a dangerous tackle on La Rochelle’s Georges Henri Colombe. The Samoan international appeared before an independent disciplinary hearing on Tuesday. Match day referee Jaco Pepyer’s red card decision was upheld by the committee, and also found that Ala’alatoa had tackled Colombe in contravention of Law 9.20.
Because of his acceptance of the red card and a clean disciplinary record, the prop benefited from a 50 per cent reduction in the possible penalty for dangerous play.
