World Rugby statement: Wales' Donna Rose disciplinary hearing
By PA
Wales forward Donna Rose has received a two-week ban after being cited for foul play during the World Cup in New Zealand. She will miss Wales’ final pool game against Australia on Saturday, but her suspension will be halved if she completes World Rugby’s coaching intervention programme.
That would mean Rose being available for the quarter-finals if Wales progress to the knockout phase. She was cited for making contact with an opponent in a ruck above the line of the shoulders against New Zealand, World Rugby said.
Rose appeared before an independent disciplinary panel and has a right of appeal. Wales will be guaranteed a last-eight place by beating Australia, but even if they lose, Ioan Cunningham’s team could still qualify as one of the two best third-placed sides.

I think the reality is that 2025 is the year that the Oz Super sides need to strike because, after 2025, I think you can expect to see some of the better players like Topou depart Oz rugby for the North.
Suddenly, in certain positions, teams like the Reds and Tahs have real quality depth. Given RA's inability to effectively match off-shore salaries (I understand they have already told Topou that they can't match his existing contract), we will see a fair few players depart for Japan, France, etc post Lions.
