LONDON - Wales winger Josh Adams has been suspended for three matches following his red card in the victory over Japan at the weekend.
Adams was initially given a yellow card for a dangerous clearout on Japan's Kippei Ishida but it was upgraded to a red following a bunker review.
A Six Nations independent disciplinary committee upheld the decision as an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.11 of World Rugby's code of conduct, namely recklessly endangering a player.
While the mid-range entry point punishment of six weeks was applied, Adams's admission of guilt as well as other mitigating factors allowed the maximum 50% reduction to be applied.
He will miss Wales' clash with New Zealand this weekend and the match against South Africa a week later as well as Cardiff's EPCR Challenge Cup tie against Stade Francais. REUTERS
