Perpignan coach and wing banned

Marc Delpoux: 20-day suspension

Perpignan wing Adrien Planté and head coach Marc Delpoux have both been handed 20-day suspensions by an LNR disciplinary committee.

Planté was found guilty of a high tackle on Toulouse wing Yves Donguy during USAP's 19-18 win over the defending champions on 15 February. The wing was given a 20-day sentence although 10 have been suspended, meaning he will be able to play again on March 9.

Meanwhile, Delpoux has been punished for his behaviour towards the match officials in the same match. He has been banned from the touchline and the match officials' dressing rooms until Match 19.

Although the incidents occurred nearly two weeks ago, both the guilty player and coach were able to participate in last week's game against Stade Français in Paris since their hearings only took place late on Wednesday.
