Mauvaka Suspended for Three Matches After Foul Play

France hooker Peato Mauvaka has been suspended for three matches following a head-first charge into Scotland's Ben White during the Six Nations match, which initially resulted in a yellow card. Despite the on-field review for a potential red card, the decision was unchanged, and Mauvaka returned as France won 35-16. He was later cited for foul play, and an independent disciplinary committee reduced his initial six-game suspension to three games due to his admission of guilt, remorse, and clean disciplinary record. Scotland coach Gregor Townsend expressed confusion over why Mauvaka was not sent off, arguing that the incident was off-the-ball and intentional. Mauvaka will miss Toulouse's upcoming matches against Bordeaux Begles, Pau, and a Champions Cup match against Sale Sharks.
