red card from Thomas Ramos, what suspension is envisaged for the French international?
Zapping World Fifteen Grand Slam, competition with Léo Coly, Mondial 2023…
If Stade Toulousain once again shone in the Champions Cup by winning 45 to 19 against Sale, there is a shadow on the board after this match: the red card of Thomas Ramos. The back of Toulouse and the XV of France was sanctioned after being accused of headbutting to one of his opponents, Byron McGuigan.
This card should logically lead to a citation by the EPCR and a suspension, since physical aggression is naturally prohibited in the regulations of World Rugby. As Rugbyrama reminds us, a player who physically attacks another player with his head can risk between 2… and 104 weeks of suspension. The low degree of sanction is usually two weeks, the medium degree 6 weeks and the high degree 16 weeks.
We can assume that the low degree will be retained for Thomas Ramos. But even a two-week sanction would be a blow for Stade Toulousain, which has a very busy program awaiting it for the end of 2022, with the reception of Castres Olympique on Friday and the trip to Clermont on January 1.
to summarize
Thomas Ramos was sanctioned with a red card during the match between Stade Toulousain and Sale. This sanction could lead to the forced absence of the French international for several weeks, which would obviously be a blow for his club whose schedule is very busy.
