Romain Ntamack’s similar suspension did not include any Toulouse games.
THE TESTIMONY OF Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby and an email from the IRFU to Leinster were key in ensuring that Garry Ringrose will be available for the final game of the Six Nations against Italy in two weekends.
France out-half Romain Ntamack was earlier handed a two-game suspension after his red card against Wales in les Bleus’ Six Nations opener, but his ban covered two Six Nations games and did not include Toulouse’s Top 14 clash with Clermont during the first Six Nations fallow week in between.
As such, Easterby said “the decision had been made to release” Ringrose to Leinster for their clash with Cardiff in the first fallow week. Ireland had played Wales on 22 February, so the email from the IRFU to Leinster was sent after that game and before Ringrose’s disciplinary hearing on 27 February.
“There is no direct evidence confirming that the Player was fit, available and expected to play in that match” against Clermont, was their sense of the matter. It took them several additional days to confirm that the Toulouse game wouldn’t be part of the suspension, with confirmation of Ntamack’s ban originally stating that he was suspended for France’s game against England but that “confirmation of the remaining match to be missed will be confirmed in due course.”
