Clermontois Raka suspended for four weeks, Toulonnais Isa two

Saniverized with a yellow card against Bordeaux (22-31) for a high tackle on Romain Buros, Alivereti Raka was suspended four weeks on Wednesday by the disciplinary committee. Recognized guilty of "Dangerous play", and in particular for "Placing an opponent in advance, late or in a dangerous way", the Clermont winger had initially been suspended 6 weeks but, given his "clean disciplinary record" , the penalty was reduced by 2 weeks ”. Raka is suspended until Sunday April 21. He also lost the possibility of being recalled for the last game of the XV of France, March 14 against Ireland.

Toulonnais Facundo Isa, cited for a bad gesture against La Rochelle scrum half Tawera Kerr-Barlow (who had won a yellow card), was also found guilty of "Dangerous play in the context of a ruck or d 'a maul: player coming into contact with an opponent above the shoulder line'. An initial suspension of 4 weeks had been retained. "But, given the extenuating circumstances (clean disciplinary record, conduct before and during the hearing), the penalty was reduced by 2 weeks," said the Disciplinary Commission. The Argentinian third line of the RCT is therefore suspended for two weeks, that is until Saturday March 28.
