Monday meeting to determine Romain Ntamack availability for France
By Jérémy Fahner
Suspended for three matches following the red card he received against Wales on the opening day of the 2025 Six Nations, Romain Ntamack is due to find out this Monday whether his suspension will indeed be cut short by one week.
He had the opportunity to take part in World Rugby’s head injury prevention program, which typically allows for a one-match (or one-week) reduction in bans for players who complete it.
According to L’Équipe, the fly-half has already participated in the “Head Contact Process” workshop and will appear once again, by videoconference, before the Tournament’s disciplinary committee on Monday, now armed with this new supporting argument.
No Top 14 for Ntamack next weekend
The committee is expected to deliver good news for both the French team and Ntamack himself. Suspended for the match against England on Saturday (France lost 25-26), he will also remain sidelined for the 16th day of the Top 14 next weekend, as the Six Nations takes a break. Stade Toulousain, who travel to Clermont on Sunday, February 16, will therefore have to do without him.
However, all signs point to Ntamack being cleared to play again the day after that fixture, making him eligible—if Fabien Galthié and his staff choose—to feature in the third match of the Tournament. On that occasion, France will head to Italy on Sunday, February 23, needing to regroup after the painful disappointment of their narrow defeat at Twickenham.

My name is Amelia Jonathan from the United States, Using this opportunity to thank Dr. Ughulu is a grateful thing to me, for over years I have been sick with Hepatitis B disease, I have done a lot of things to get cured of my diseases and nothing has worked out. I have taken different types of medication for it , but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has be gone, because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured, I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through, and then direct me to contact Dr. Ughulu who is a very powerful man, which I did explain my problem to Dr. Ughulu and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea. I went for a check up to check if I’m cured from Hepatitis B disease, then the nurse told me nothing is wrong with me anymore and said I’m fine. I am the happiest person right now. I promise Dr Ughulu I will testify about his good work on the internet.

Go to commentsI’d take the Sharks, Stormers, Bulls, and Lions back in a second. Super Rugby Pacific is improving and the conference system sucked ass and never should have been implemented but if you think the quality of rugby is better without the South African franchises, you are kidding yourself.
And there is nothing authentic about Moana Pacifika, it is a sixth NZ franchise. Almost all of the players are NZ citizens, born and raised in NZ, were developed by NZ secondary schools and play in the NPC. The players just happen to be of Pacific heritage (just as there are a very large number of Pacific heritage players on the original five NZ franchises). Moana Pacifika is a marketing ploy for Auckland’s second SRP franchise.
Fiji Drua are legitimately a Pacific island team. Most players are born in Fiji, the players live and train in Fiji, and they play their home matches in Fiji.
