 Magne will only miss one match |
London Irish flanker Olivier Magne will miss this Saturday's Heineken Cup clash with Ulster after receiving a two-week ban for stamping against Northampton. The Frenchman was found guilty by a Rugby Football Union disciplinary of stamping on Saints' Dylan Hartley.
The ban dates back to 29 November when Magne was suspended by his club - and
means he will be available to face Ulster at Ravenhill on 15 December.
Bristol hooker Mark Regan escaped any punishment after also being cited.
Regan was accused of kicking Gloucester flanker Luke Narraway in their Premiership clash on 24 November.
Although the citing was upheld, no further sanction was imposed on the hooker by the panel chaired by His Honour Judge Jeff Blackett, the RFU's disciplinary officer.
Bristol had stood down Regan from last Saturday's EDF Energy Cup game against Ospreys while they awaited the verdict.
