Six Nations isn't over for Garry Ringrose despite his red card ban
By Liam Heagney
Garry Ringrose’s Guinness Six Nations campaign with Ireland isn’t over despite last Saturday’s red-carded tackle on Wales’ Ben Thomas. The midfielder was yellow-carded by referee Christophe Ridley in the first half in Cardiff, a sanction upgraded to a 20-minute red card by the Principality Stadium foul play review bunker.

The sending-off resulted in a disciplinary hearing on Thursday morning and Ringrose has received a three-match ban that will be reduced to two if successfully completes World Rugby tackle school. This coaching intervention would shelve the third game of the Irish player’s suspension, freeing him for selection for the round five Six Nations finale away to Italy on March 15.
It would mean the only Test match Ringrose will miss with the title-chasing Ireland is the March 8 round four clash with France in Dublin, as this Saturday’s URC game for Leinster against Cardiff has been included as the first missed match of his ban.
A statement read: “Ireland number 13 Garry Ringrose appeared before an independent disciplinary committee on Thursday morning via video link having received a 20-minute red card for an act of foul play contrary to law 9.13 in the match between Wales and Ireland last Saturday.
“The independent disciplinary committee was chaired by Matthew Weaver KC (England), joined by former international players Leon Lloyd (England) and Stefan Terblanche (South Africa).

“The disciplinary committee has upheld the red card issued to the player and by applying World Rugby’s sanctioning provisions, have determined that the mid-range entry point of six weeks/matches was appropriate.

“In light of the player accepting he committed an act of foul play as well as other mitigating factors, they have applied the maximum 50 per cent reduction in sanction, thus reducing the final sanction to three weeks/matches.
“The suspension will cover the following matches:
- March 1 – Leinster vs Cardiff, United Rugby Championship
- March 8 – Ireland vs France, Guinness Six Nations
- March 15 – Italy vs Ireland, Guinness Six Nations*
“The player has additionally been given permission to apply to take part in World Rugby’s coaching intervention programme which will, if successfully completed, replace the final match of their sanction. The programme is aimed at modifying specific techniques and technical issues that contributed to the foul play.”

Instead of increasing the number of weeks ban, just automatically taking into account all potential matchs would avoid this difference of outcome, regardless of the week off.
Both players had an important role in their team anyway. For the past 5 years, Ringrose never played for Leinster during the 6 nations period.
The difference between Ringrose and Ntamack.
Ringrose WAS released. Ntamack wasn’t. (due to when fallow weeks arise)
Ntamack is the number one French outhalf, an indespensible player.
Ringrose was part of a centre rotation with Aki and Henshaw. There were also plans to develop his utility potential.
While I agree with you that Ringrose was unlikely to feature for Leinster, the evidence met the treshold for including that match in his ban. It didn’t meet it for Ntamack mainly because what would happen in the France-England game would affect his designation and this was unknowable.
So the correct verdict was reached. The way to solve the issue is to increase the base ban from 6 to 9 weeks for medium offences.
Galthie knew all this as he was coach for Willemse, quote the O’Mahoney case and also had access to the detailed verdicts for Ringrose and Ntamack.
I would guess part of his motivation was to embarrass Ireland before Saturdays match.
I think the ban should either be restricted to the competition in which it occurs, or remains multi-competition but automatically takes into account the matchs involving the club/nation the player belongs to, in order to avoid this kind of situation. Everyone knows never Ringrose nor Ntamack would have played these club matchs.
In 2024, Willemse’s ban included Racing 92 v Montpellier and Montpellier v Bayonne. This meant he was available for final two matches in 2024 six nations Galthie was manager.
Galthie also cited the cases Atonio (2023), Haouas (2023) and Danty (2024) where the FFR (just like Ireland) told those hearings that those players would be released to their clubs. Galthie also said he probably would have released Galthie after the England match.
Galthie tried to do exactly what Ireland did. They succeeded in doing it for their previous numerous red cards. The problem in this scenario was that the decision to release players now happens after the match before the fallow week. Ireland imnmediately released Ringrose. France couldn’t immediately release Ntamack therefore Galthie could not state with evidence that he would have been released that’s the difference.
Galthie didn’t fail because he was too honest.
The expert opinion I heard (Ugo Monye) is that extending the base ban from 6 to 8 matches will help.
Of more concern to me was the decision in Ntamacks case not to declare that he injured Thomas. Evidence showed that Thomas suffered a fractured and displaced nose break.
As far as I can see, if this is acknowledged Ntamack sees a big ban.
If this was enough to trick the disciplinary committee, I don’t even know what is their purpose. I guess it will be a lesson for Galthié that transparency/honesty won’t earn you anything with world rugby.
Just a year ago, I found myself in a financial abyss. A wrong investment decision had cost me $500,000—money that took me years to build through sweat, sacrifice, and relentless effort. It wasn’t just the loss that hurt; it was the hopelessness that followed. My business stalled, debts piled up, and the weight of my failure crushed me. I had trusted a too-good-to-be-true investment in a startup that promised high returns through speculative AI-driven trading. Blinded by optimism, I ignored red flags and poured in my entire savings. Within months, the company collapsed due to mismanagement and fraudulent activities. By the time I realized the truth, my funds were gone, and legal action seemed futile. In the midst of my despair, I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a rising name in ethical AI-driven financial solutions. Unlike the reckless investment schemes that had ruined me, they focused on transparency, sustainability, and responsible financial technology. Their mission was clear: leveraging AI to empower individuals ethically, not exploit them. With little to lose, I reached out to their team, expecting corporate indifference. Instead, I was met with genuine concern. A financial consultant from Galaxy Ethical Tech, Emma, walked me through their AI-driven Financial Recovery Program—a system designed to help individuals rebuild their finances through personalized investment strategies, risk analysis, and income diversification. I started small. Their AI-powered investment assistant analyzed my risk tolerance, market trends, and ethical investment opportunities that aligned with long-term sustainability and financial health. Instead of high-risk, speculative trades, it guided me toward steady, impact-driven investments—in sectors like renewable energy, ethical tech startups, and blockchain solutions with real-world utility. One of their groundbreaking features was the Galaxy Adaptive Portfolio, an AI-powered system that adjusted investments dynamically based on real-time market data, ensuring I never fell into the trap of emotional, impulsive decisions again. More importantly, their fraud detection system educated me on red flags, ensuring I never repeated my past mistakes. Beyond investments, their AI-driven freelancing and gig economy integration connected me with short-term, high-paying opportunities tailored to my expertise. Within months, I had a steady stream of income that helped me regain financial confidence. Within a year, I wasn’t just recovering—I was thriving. My portfolio had grown steadily, my debts were under control, and my financial mindset had transformed. More than just money, I had regained my self-worth, knowing I had made decisions rooted in ethics, sustainability, and intelligence. Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just help me recover from financial ruin—they empowered me to build a smarter, more resilient financial future. My $500,000 mistake no longer defined me. Instead, it became the foundation of a new journey—one built on wisdom, responsibility, and ethical technology. Now, as I stand on stable ground again, I share my story to remind others: financial ruin is not the end. With the right technology, the right guidance, and the right mindset, recovery is not just possible—it’s inevitable.

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing.
NTKs case notes states that O’Mahony (Ireland) was sent off in first match in 2021 and his club matches DID NOT count. Last year Willemse (France) was sent off in first match and two club matches DID COUNT.
Verdict below.
Galthie stated whether NTK was released to the club for the fallow week depended on his performance against England. Therefore NTK could not prove he was EXPECTED to play against Clermont, so the ban cant count there.
On the other hand IRFU RELEASED RINGROSE FOR THE CARDIFF MATCH. They provided documentation to prove it.
The bigger issue for me is why NTK was in the 3 ban category and not the 6 ban.
The Welsh doctor gave evidence that Thomas sufferred a fractured nose. yet teh report concluded ‘no injury’ allowing NTK escape the bigger punishment.
A single typo costing me US$280,000 was beyond my imaginations, but even the most minute errors could have apocalyptic consequences in crypto.It all began with my trying to restore my Bitcoin wallet. I had properly backed up the seed phrase-so I thought-but when the time came to restore my wallet, it didn't work. Nothing worked. I started to be desperate, checking and double-checking my phrases. Where did I go wrong? After hours of frustration, it hit me—I had made a tiny mistake while writing down my seed phrase. A single misplaced character was now standing between me and my $280,000 in Bitcoin.Panic.

Tech Cyber Force Recovery found my error, corrected the typo, and restored my wallet in record time. Seeing my Bitcoin balance show up once more was just pure relief and gratitude.They didn't just recover my funds; they taught me how to back up my wallet properly, avoid mistakes, and secure my assets against future mishaps.I now quadruple-check every single little detail and tell everyone I know: If you ever lock yourself out of your crypto, then Tech Cyber Force Recovery is the lifeline one needs.The#CryptoRecoverySuccess hashtag wasn't just some hype, it saved me.CONTACT THEM THROUGHTELEGRAM (AT)TECHCYBERFORC
No. The detailed decision out today showing written evidence that Ringrose was released to Leinster for Cardiff and would have played. He was ‘expected’ to play. Ntamack wasn’t.
As it seems that the debate is not hot enough !! I inform you that the FFR has just sent a letter to World Rugby asking for explanations why both Ntamack and Ringrose cases were handled differently. According to Rugbyrama it would appear that both Leinster and Toulouse sent a letter to the discipline commission stating that Ringrose and Ntamack would play vs Cardiff and Clermont. But Ringrose never played URC during the fallow weeks whilst Ntamack was coming back from recent injury and likely to play as short of competition…
When it comes to crypto loss. As a 'tech personal reasonably informed about cryptocurrency, I concur that it is highly unlikely that you will ever recover any money.

Here are recent 6N cases: look at press release or download full hearing to inform this debate:
https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/en/discipline
As I understand it France have a clear policy disbarring players from playing in club matches during the 6N. The other countries don’t, inluding Ireland. So the outlier case is N’Tamack’s and not Ringrose’s. The treatment for Ringrose is the norm.
As an aside, it is remarkable that N’Tamack and Ringrose both got the same match punishment. N’Tamack was a deliberate ‘revenge’ headshot happenning after an altercation with the player a few minutes before. Surely a straight red sanction?
If N'Tamack deserved a 3,4,5 or 6 weeks ban, why did'nt he got this kind of ban, and I should agree with that? Sorry, but your argument is irrelevant , he got the same ban than Ringrose who will not play 1 game and he did'nt play 2 games. It is totally unfair.
I don’t think you can prove it was a deliberate head shot. That’s an opinion. He may have intended to hit him hard and he may have been reckless, but that doesn't not mean he deliberately meant to hit him in the head. Ringrose also intended to hit his player hard and he was also reckless. Murky territory when you start trying to differentiate between one and the other.
The sanction is fair enough but they shouldn’t be patting themselves on the back believing they are protecting players. It’s obscene that Thomas wasn’t taken off for a mandatory HIA.
Thomas had a broken nose yet the verdict not only said the hit was ‘accidental’ but that ‘no injury occurred’. If an injury occurred France was looking at 6 games for NTamack.
Incredible the difference with N'Tamack.
What a shame.
Investing in the wrong online cryptocurrency theft platforms, which typically promise consumers enormous profits on their investment but cause them to lose all of their assets, is a mistake that most cryptocurrency traders make frequently. Early this year, I became a victim as well, but with the aid of a reputable and authorized hacking outfit called casefile@shi-us dot com I was able to get my lost cryptocurrency back into my wallet. When interacting with clients, they are kind and professional. In the event that you want such services, I heartily recommend Santoshi Hackers Intelligence.
I encourage anyone who needs the service of recovering their lost Bitcoin to use Santoshi Hackers Intelligence. I chose to invest in cryptocurrencies and unfortunately, I lost all of my crypto to another investor. The person who was meant to manage my account turned out to be an impostor the entire time. It was a disheartening experience, to say the least. I invested a significant sum of 504,000 USDC, and initially, everything appeared promising with good reading and profit margins. However, when I attempted to withdraw, I couldn’t and that’s when I discovered that I could no longer contact my supposed account manager. It was then that I became very concerned. That’s when I found out about SANTOSHI HACKERS INTELLIGENCE. I had read some evaluations of their service and how useful they had been for many individuals who had lost their money. I contacted them right away to ask for help and intervention. SANTOSHI HACKERS INTELLIGENCE worked tirelessly to locate and recover my lost funds. The stolen Bitcoin was successfully returned to me, something I thought would never happen. I can’t express my gratitude towards SHI enough. I advise their services to anyone who has gone through a similar experience. They are knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly, trustworthy. Thank you for reading my story and please do not hesitate to get in touch with them if you find yourself in the same situation. ‘’ casefile@shi-us.com ’’ Your Safety Is Guaranteed.
What started as a laid-back night, chatting in a crypto Discord channel, quickly became one of the worst nights of my life. I had been discussing some investment strategies, giving and receiving some tips on trading, ups and downs of the market, when somebody dropped a link into the chat of what looked like a great new trading platform. The chat was hyped, and without thinking twice, I clicked it.
Big mistake. The moment I logged in with my credentials, my stomach just dropped. Something didn't feel right. Within minutes, I saw an unauthorized transaction that had siphoned my Bitcoin wallet of $200,000, and before I could even comprehend what was happening, it was gone. It was as if my financial future had been stolen right before my eyes. Panic set in, and a wave of regret washed over me. How could I, someone who prided themselves on being cautious, fall for such an obvious scam?
I started to post frantically in the Discord group, seeking any advice. And then a guy mentioned the name Trust Geeks Hack Expert. He talked highly of them, saying they had already dealt with similar cases and that they recovered lost crypto in scamming and hacking. It was a long shot, but at this point, I had nothing left to lose. I reached out immediately, and from the very first interaction, I knew I was in good hands. The team was calm, professional, and most importantly, understanding of my frustration. They assured me that my situation wasn't hopeless and that they had advanced tools to track and recover lost funds.
But this was the nail-biting period, and as promised, they pulled off what was seemingly impossible. They recovered my Bitcoin, and I got back access to my wallet. Relief was an understatement; from total despair to absolute triumph in a moment, thanks to them. Yet, they didn't stop there.
Trust Geeks Hack Expert also helped me fortify my digital security, teaching me how to recognize red flags, secure my wallet better, and avoid similar scams in the future. I’ve since become an advocate for crypto safety, warning others in my Discord group about the dangers of phishing links and shady platforms.
If there is one thing that I have learned, it's that one lousy click doesn't have to equate to financial ruin.

I think the most effective strategy is to take the law into your own hands. Maybe assemble a crew of heavily armed, rogue ex military types and hunt down the crypto thieves. You want to send a clear message to other crypto thieves to not steal your crypto. Once you’ve got your crypto back by force, take all the other crypto they stole and keep it for yourselves. Or. Share the booty. Or, share the booty with poor people from your village back home. To buy seeds and farming implements so as to work themselves out of poverty and to run the local cruel warlord out of town. But not before shooting him. After a bloody battle in the streets. Involving cattle (as a decoy), an Irishman pilot and a local sassy bartender with sultry good looks to kill.

So a game with Leinster , Ringrose would have never played, is OK for Ringrose, but a game with Toulouse did'nt count for N'Tamack…
But ,it's well knowned , french people are paranoiac….
Ringrose was released for the Cardiff match. The verdict says so. Ntamack couldnt establish this. What is more concerning is that Ntamack broke Thomas nose in a deliberate act. The broken nose was confirmed by the Welsh doctor. Yet the report showed that no injury occurred and that the hit was ‘accidental’.
“As such, the decision had been made to release the Player to Leinster to allow him to get game time before the Ireland v France match, in which he would have been expected to feature but for this red cards. In addition, Simon Easterby explained that part of the reason for releasing the Player to Leinster was to allow him the chance to play in a different position in order that Ireland can consider using the Player on the wing as well as in the centre. An e-mail sent by the IRFU to Leinster confirming that the Player was included in the list of Ireland squad players released to Leinster for the match against Cardiff.”
Note Ntamack had a fight before with Thomas on the ground. He shoulders him on the face and breaks his nose (Wales doctors evidence). But the verdict is “No injury” and “unintentional”. Are you concerned?
I also hope Thomas is given a break against Scotland.
As I understand it France have a clear policy disbarring players from playing in matches during the 6N. The other countries don’t. So the outlier case is N’Tamacks and not Ringrose’s.
Another example of World Rugby failing to deal with clear and obvious contradictions. Clowns could do a better job!
I haven't heard this story. Why didn't the game for Ntmack count, it should be the same. It's the same in NZ. Did World Rugby say no or was it French Rugby?
Agree, it is weird, bizarre, unfair (a lot of words in fact!) that both cases are not handled in the same way. A very bad image of our sport and it does not help to open it to new fans and other countries… will see if there is any reaction from other observers. Italy could file à complaint 😅
