Ma’a Nonu is suspended for three weeks following a dangerous tackle during the match against the Stormers in the Champions Cup. Stay with us to find out the implications of this sanction on RC Toulon's journey.

The 43-year-old New Zealand veteran, with 103 caps to his name, was penalized after a head-on-head collision with Wandisile Simelane. Nonu received a yellow card and, after a hearing, has been handed a suspension that could be reduced to two weeks if he follows World Rugby's program on dangerous play. This ruling prevents him from participating in the quarter-finals against Glasgow and also means he will miss a crucial match in the Top 14 against Montauban. It's a significant loss for the RCT as the season comes to a close.
