Rodrigue Neti receives three-match suspension

Stade Toulousain left prop Rodrigue Neti a three-match suspension following a red card received during a Champions Cup match against Exeter. The disciplinary action was issued after Neti committed a high tackle on Ross Vintcent, forcing his team to play with a numerical disadvantage for much of the game.

Under the EPCR disciplinary procedure, the suspension could be reduced to two matches if Neti completes a World Rugby tackle education program. This reduction is significant for his international availability; if the reduction is granted, he could return to play on November 2, making him eligible for France's match against Fiji on November 7. Without the reduction, he would not be eligible to play again until November 9.

Stade Toulousain will be without the 31-year-old for upcoming Top 14 fixtures against Perpignan and Pau.
