Rugby Union – Top 14: two match suspension for Mamea Lemalu, USAP’s third row will be able to play again against Castres.

We won’t see Genesis Mamea Lemalu again until the last day of the Top 14, May 28, against Castres. Dismissed in the first half on April 22 for a charge of danger to Anton Bresler, the second row of the 92 Championship, the third row of the USAP was approved, Wednesday evening, with two matches of suspension by the disciplinary committee. The punishment, originally 6 matches, was reduced by half due to the aggravating circumstances, since the Samoan received, at the age of 35, two weeks ago, the first red card in his football career. And by committing to World Rugby’s protocol, which places special training on the veneer, he will see his punishment reduced to an extra match.

As a result, Genesis Mamea Lemalu will not be present in Lyon, this Saturday, May 6, then for the Toulouse reception on May 13, Aimé-Giral. He will qualify for the 26th and final day against Castres, before being available, if necessary, for match availability, a week later.

Remember that the runners, Anton Bresler, was also dismissed at the same stage for the charge, a few seconds later, for Seilala Lam, he was sanctioned more strongly. deemed to have been involved in “cruelty”, he was suspended for 5 matches and will therefore play again this season if Racing reach the Top 14 final.
