Three week ban for Oli Kebble

Oli Kebble is banned for three weeks
Glasgow's Oli Kebble has been banned for three weeks following his red card in last weekend's meeting with Edinburgh at Scotstoun.

Kebble was shown a red card by Referee Adam Jones (WRU) under Law 9.12 - A Player must not physically or verbally abuse anyone. Physical abuse includes but is not limited to, biting, punching, contact with the eye or eye area, striking with any part of the arm including stuff-arm tackles), shoulder, head or knee(s), stamping, trampling tripping or kicking.

The Disciplinary Process of the red card offence was presided over by Judicial Officer Owain Rhys James (WRU), who concluded that an act of foul play had occurred. The incident was found to merit a mid-range entry point, which indicates a six-week suspension for this offence. Having considered all available evidence and the player's previous disciplinary record, a reduction of 50 percent was applied, bringing the ban to three weeks.

The Player is suspended from participating in the next three meaningful matches. Should a game be cancelled or postponed during this window of games, the Player and PRO14 are to submit updated fixtures to the Disciplinary Panel so the return date can be advised.
