Sale's McGuigan to miss crunch European games following ban
By PA
Byron McGuigan has been given a three-week suspension following his red card in Sale’s defeat against Saracens last weekend.
The Sharks back was given his marching orders for throwing opposition player Nick Tompkins to the floor by referee Tom Foley and appeared before an independent disciplinary panel on Tuesday.
McGuigan accepted a charge for reckless or dangerous play contrary to World Rugby Law 9.11 and will now sit out Sale’s next three fixtures against Ospreys, Clermont and Newcastle.
Scotland international McGuigan is set to be available again for the visit of Wasps on New Year’s Day.

Go to commentsI agree with that, every dude with more than 50 caps got a free ride this year no matter how bad their form was.
But using Will Jordan as a second play making full back when that isn’t his game? That’s on razor.
Bash in crash backs to set up quick rucks over the gainline when it clearly doesn’t work? Razor.
Forwards not Vern Cotter-ing it when we get in the 22?
Razors fault again.
Tired fatigued players with one foot on the plane home scraping past Italy?
That’s all Razor.
I’ve full faith in the man and he’s building the team going forward but come on.
How long are we going to keep blaming All Black failings on Ian Foster.
