The entry point set at 6 weeks, but the penalty reduced by 2 weeks
Brad Shields was convicted of a dangerous tackle on the pillar of Munster Dave Kilcoyne who had earned him a red card from referee Romain Poite. An expulsion that made a lot of talk across the Channel. โThe Commission upheld the red card decision, finding that Shields had come into contact with Kilcoyne’s head and neck area in a dangerous manner. It determined that the violation met the average degree of World Rugby’s sanctioning schedule and therefore selected a six week entry point “Said the EPCR in its press release.
Taking into account the player’s disciplinary record, the Commission reduced the sanction by 2 weeks to bring it down to 4 suspension matches. Shields will therefore be able to replay from Monday, January 10, 2022 and his last week of suspension will be lifted if he follows the famous device ” Primary contact process ” proposed by Rugby World Cup, only once in a professional career. The player and the EPCR have the option of appealing the decision.
