Jonathan Danty, the FranceRugby centre, has been handed a five-week suspension following a red card incident, which can be reduced to four weeks if he completes a tackle school program. The initial six-week entry point for the suspension was reduced by two weeks as Danty apologized, but an additional week was added due to aggravating factors related to his disciplinary record. Despite the suspension, Danty could still be available for the Champions Cup playoff against the DHL Stormers in Cape Town. The French midfield is now in need of a replacement for Danty for the rest of the Guinness Six Nations, with suggestions for potential starters in the next game including Gailleton or Depoortère.
